Description
In this handwritten letter, dated January 13, 1844, John Davis Boyd writes to his wife, Ann McKee Boyd (Green) expressing his frustration that he has not received any letters from her since he left home for Jackson. He goes on to describe the weather as unfavorable to business and how worried he is that it will also have a negative impact on her. He gives her instructions on how to keep their wood supplied and other household instructions. He then tells her how the Legislature is looking this term and how sick they all are.
