Description

In this handwritten and undated letter [presumed written in March 1867], Sophia Boyd Andrews Hays writes to her sister, Matilda Ann "Lit" Boyd Webb to express her disappointment at receiving so few letters from home. She asks after her sister's health and the children and lets her know that she will likely be moving to a new rooming house in Edinburg once her current roommate leaves. She goes on to ask after the formerly enslaved people they'd known.
