LETTERS OF MARY MAGDALLIN FLAGG

All addressed to: Miss Lydia Nightingale, Providence,
MMF Letter #0 1

Charleston February 1st 1790

By my Father's earnest request and likewise
my own inclination I write a few lines to reheat my affection
for my dear Aunt and the great desire I have of once more
visiting the Monastry. My Aunt desires to be particularly re-
membered to you and says she longs to see you in Charleston
for she loves you very much for the kindness you shew'd me at
the Northward. I am afraid Mrs Moore will find Charleston quite
a different place from what she expected it is dull no dancing
but where you can get in an agreeable circle of acquaintance it is
very agreable [sic]. Aunt will thank you if you will send her
a few seed of double China aster the Columbine. Holy oak and
a root of the white daffy down's any thing that we have you
shall be welcome to as I am in a hurry pray excuse this short
letter Papa desires compliments to you Adieu My dear Aunt

Maria M. Flagg
