Description

In this handwritten letter, dated November 20, 1866, Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes to her brother-in-law, Robert B. Webb to say it has been a while since she has heard from him or anyone back home and often fears the silence indicates sad news awaits her. She goes on to say she'd hoped to spend the winter in the south of France or Italy but found it to be too expensive. She describes Boulogne-Sur-Mer, the place where she's currently living and speculates that she may spend the winter there, instead. She goes on to discuss her son, Leon's circumstances there and describes a minor accident he had had recently.
