Description

In this handwritten letter, dated September 4, 1858, Jack (Anderson Jackson) Boyd writes to his mother, Anna (Annie) Boyd Green to ask after her as he had not heard from her in two months. He goes on to say that he hopes she will visit soon and that he is will and more than happy to assist her in getting "across the Mississippi" to do so. He describes his studies as a pleasure but would find greater pleasure in assisting her. He concludes by discussing how difficult it is to find time to be alone and away from society to focus on his studies.
