Description
In this handwritten letter, dated November 17, 1899, Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes to her brother-in-law Robert B. Webb to express her shame at how long it took her to write to him. She explains that she has been busy. She goes on to discuss her brother, Gordan's (John Gordan Davis Boyd) health. She shares her thoughts on the manufacturing plant moving into Kosciusko and the positive effects that manufacturing establishments will bring to the South. This letter was originally included with a group of letters addressed to Robert B. Webb, Annie Ray, and Matilda Ann "Lit" Boyd Webb.
