In this handwritten letter, dated August 17, 1857, Jack (Anderson Jackson) Boyd writes to his mother, Anna (Annie) Boyd Green to express his regret to learn of the hardships in the county where she resides. He goes on to update her on the cotton and corn crops in Kosciusko, Mississippi and updates her on how the rest of the family is doing. Boyd concludes the letter by telling his mother he hopes to be able to visit after Christmas and sends his love. A footnote at the bottom of the page passes some news on to Aunt Lacy.
