Description
In this handwritten letter, dated January 17, 1844, John Davis Boyd writes to his wife, Ann McKee Boyd (Green) to let her know that he may be in Jackson until sometime in March due to the slow movement on the adoption of a cause. He goes on to say that the weather is so bad they are confined to their rooms and while many are suffering with colds and sore throats, he is in good health. He concludes by asking her and the children to write to him at least once or twice a week.
