Description

In this handwritten letter, dated June 6, 1850, Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes to her sister, Matilda Ann "Lit" Boyd Webb to let her know she just discovered that Lit was in Kosciusko so that she could write to her. She advises her sister not spend her time there idly chit-chatting and reading novels and love stories as she believes such things weaken the intellect. She advises her on what to read instead and how better to spend her time. She goes on to ask after mutual friends and family.
