Description
In this handwritten and undated letter, Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes to her mother, Anna (Annie) McKee Boyd Green to express her concern at not having heard from the States in a while. She reminds her mother that she has written from far away places such as London and Paris and given them each address whenever she moved. She goes on to speculate that perhaps their letters had been delayed or not forwarded properly. She continues the letter by describing her time in Paris and how expensive it was. She expresses gratitude for all the wonderful places she's visited and fine people she's met during her travels. She speaks of her son, Leon, and how delightful he is.
