[Lydia] Maria [Child] ALS to Anna Loring, January 5, 1845
Lydia Maria Child Papers, 1831-1894 [Box 1, Folder 31]
It is rather profane, but the profanity won't hurt you, and it will amuse you as an elegant specimen of N. York flattery. A young gentleman who was introduced to me, said, as he left the house, with his companion, "I like Mrs. Child. Generally, when a damned woman writes a damned article, she thinks she's damnation; but Mrs. Child don't seem the least like an author." John desires a cordial remembrance to you all. Blessings be with you. Your affectionate Aunt Maria.
