Description
In this handwritten letter, dated October 11, 1860, Jack (Anderson Jackson) Boyd writes to his sister, Matilda Ann "Lit" Boyd Webb to discuss how school is going this session and how well the female school is doing. He also updates her on the boarders at their sister, Sophia's house and how much he is growing despite his lack of exercise. He goes on to describe how homesick he is but won't get to come home until the following summer. He concludes with news about people he has seen or heard from.
