Description
In this handwritten letter, dated October 13, 1866, Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes from Edinburgh, Scottland to her mother, Anna (Annie) McKee Boyd Green to let her know that she has moved homes to be closer to her son, Leon's school. She goes on to say that she prefers the new lodging as it is a self-contained house in the suburbs of the city. She describes the home and the widow and her family she is renting from/living with as pleasant. She continues by describing how Leon is adapting to school and their new home. She begins a second portion of the letter on November 5, explaining that she has been too occupied to finish and mail the letter since she started it in October. She continues the letter by describing the knitting and other things she has been doing to prepare for winter in Scottland.
