Description

In this handwritten letter, dated July 6, 1866, Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes to her sister, Matilda Ann "Lit" Boyd Webb to apologize that she has not yet received Lit's photographs back from the artist she dropped them off with. She tells she'd been away and has been unusually busy and had not been able to keep up with checking on the photographs. She describes the money she has ready to take with her when she leave for Liverpool and how to get in touch with her once there. She offers instructions to their brother, Jack (Anderson Jackson Boyd), on some payments she owes.
