Description

In this handwritten, and undated letter, Sophia Boyd Hays writes to her mother, Anna (Annie) McKee Boy Green to acknowledge and express gratitude for the photograph her mother sent to her.

She goes on to describe how things are going at the Female College and comments on how happy she is that her brother, Bob, and his wife are getting along so well in Texas. She concludes by commenting on other family and taxes.
