- Title
- L. Alexander to Unspecified, January 01, 1794
- Description
- Copy of a letter from "L. Alexander" of Baltimore, describing a woman, identified as a countess, explaining that her husband, the count, had emigrated to England in 1792, leaving her and their five children behind. The count instructed the countess to leave their sons under the care of their steward, and embark with the girls to St. Domingo. It is possibly implied that they were driven from their comfortable home by the "insurrections of the negroes and embarked on the convoy for this place shortly after the destruction of the Cape."
