Title: Letter, March 6, 1882, Maggie McDowell, New York, to her cousin Carrie Brevard, 6 pp., regarding her visit to New York City and various family and social matters: ". . . I have had my time very much taken up shopping for Rena as you know she is very particular. . . I have still a good deal to keep me busy for a week or so, as I like to look around at different stores for new styles. . . Have received a letter from Aunt Caroline who seems interested in my investigations in Spiritualism. I wrote her in my last letter an account of a conversation I had with my Brother who was killed in the war he told me a good deal about the Spirit world which shows that man continues to progress mentally in Spiritually after leaving the body . . . I met Lucy Ivy yesterday in Macys . . . I have just had a siege with Dr. Ramseur . . . I went with him evening before last at Steinway Hall to a kind of womans rights meeting, and some of the speeches were funny and witty. I went merely out of curiosity. Have enjoyed several theatres and concerts. . ."
