Description

In this handwritten letter, dated December 23, [1873], Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes to her sister, Matilda Ann "Lit" Boyd Webb to let her know that she is sending their mother a pin from her own jewelry collection as she had not been able to purchase a suitable one and tells her that she sent Lit a warm underbody suit. She goes on to describe other things she needs to do and how she was "forced" to take longer than three days for the holiday. She continues the letter on December 27 by describing how severely cold it has been and how that has affected so many people causing them to get sick and how she's enjoyed the time off with the girls at the school.
