Description

In this handwritten letter, dated September 13, 1866, Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes to her brother-in-law, Robert B. Webb to thank him for the quick response she'd received from him and explained that she was grateful to hear that all her family were well. She goes on to discuss her pleasure in her current living situation in Edinburgh, Scotland and her reluctance to want to move from unless it were to move to a home with a family that could assist in teaching her sone, Leon, to speak French. She compares her cost of living in Edinburgh to that of New Orleans and finds it considerably cheaper.
