Description

In this handwritten letter, dated November 1858, Jack (Anderson Jackson) Boyd writes to his sister, Matilda Ann "Lit" Boyd Webb to tell her about the fare and how he wished she and her husband had come down for it. He goes on to discuss family friends and how they're doing and updates her on the loss of the cotton that their brother sent their sister. He concludes by telling her he will likely not be able to make it to see her at Christmas.
