Description

In this handwritten letter, dated January 18, 1852, Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes to her sister, Matilda Ann "Lit" Boyd Webb to describe the frightful weather they've had in Jackson. She goes on to describe her thoughts on some religious texts she'd been reading. She continues by discussing mutual friends of theirs, one of whom is said to be engaged to be married and asks Lit what kind of man Mr. Webb is and asks her to tell her all about him. She also tells Lit about her current beaux, describing him and encourages Lit to be as candid with her as she'd been with Lit.
