Knox, Commander of West Point, writes to Thomas Flucker, brother of Knox's wife Lucy. Notes that Thomas is still very dear to Lucy, despite the turbulence of the times (Lucy's family were Loyalists, and her parents had left America for England at the start of the Revolutionary War). Remarks, The War being over we may hope for a revival of intercourse and mutual goodwill between friends who have been separated... Suffer me to press you to write often and to confide me in the light of a real brother. Encloses a letter (not included) to Flucker's mother, explaining the method by which they may correspond in the future.
