Description
In this handwritten letter, dated December 14, 1868, Sophie Boyd writes to her cousin, Matilda Ann "Lit" Boyd Webb to tell her of all the sickness that has kept her and her mother occupied. She goes on to update Lit on everyone's health and speculates on how everyone will continue to improve or not. She goes on to speak of her birthday the day before and how she spent the day working. She speaks of how she has partially promised to take a school in Rankin County once the family had recovered from their sicknesses.
