Description
In this handwritten letter, dated July 17, 1868, Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes from London, England to her mother, Anna (Annie) McKee Boyd Green to update her on how she is getting along in England. She states that she is finding London less pleasant in Summer but is enjoying the little town, Ealing, where they're living. She goes on to discuss how anxious she is about some business matters her brother, Jack, is handling for her and how she has not heard from him. She is hopeful to keep her boarding house in La Grange, Tennessee and is hopeful that it will continue to rent, though she has not heard. She concludes by stating that while she would love to see her family in the States she is determined not to return until things are more settled there.
