Description

In this handwritten letter Robert Webb writes from Kosciusko, Mississippi to his cousin, M. A. Clark to let him know that he is sending some money and instructions for it on behalf of a mutual acquaintance. He goes on to discuss the difficulties of the cotton industry at the current market price and his anxiety to see the season close. He concludes the letter by updating Clark on the status of his wife and children and invites him to come and visit and updates him on the three female schools opening nearby. The paper is creased, stained and the edges are slightly torn.
