Description
In this handwritten letter Robert Webb writes from Lincoln County, Mississippi to his wife, Matilda to let her know he wrote to her from Jackson and tells her they'd had several incidents during their travels that cannot put into a short letter. He tells her he's feeling better than he did when he left home and describes the creek where they are stopped at to wait out the heavy rains. He goes on to discuss the number of miles he estimates that they have made thus far and what he expects from the rest of the trip.
