Description

In this handwritten letter, dated December 31, 1852, Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes to her sister, Matilda Ann "Lit" Boyd Webb and describes her current state of insomnia. She goes on to speculate on the past year and what they might can expect in the coming year, encouraging her sister to remember that the only true hope there is in life if found in Christ. She councils her sister on Lit's struggle with her Christianity. There is some visible folding and tearing along the top of the pages.
