Summary
Reiterates his message from a 24 June 1776 letter (see GLC02437.00345) that Mr. Jackson will show William his letter, possibly referring to Henry Jackson who wrote to Knox with military news on 17 June 1776 (see GLC02437.00343). Also relays a report that General William Howe is on his way to New York with British forces. Knox indicates that they are prepared and states that it will be their own fault if they do not give the British a reception that does honor to America. Discusses personal finances and mentions that Lucy Knox will write to William.
