Francis Kinloch to rumored lover John Laurens, 28 April 1776.
*This isn’t the entire letter, rather what I could find of it. I couldn’t find the manuscript so I couldn’t transcribe it either.
Laurens,
If I knew how to thank you for your letter, I would do it, but as the case is, you must be satisfied, my dear Laurens, with my telling you that it gave me the highest pleasure. Continue to write to me whatever Carolina news you can pick up, that you think capable of interesting a Carolinian, and one too that loves his native country; whatever may be your idea of my manner of thinking in political affairs, don’t let that hinder you from telling me yours, and I promise to be as free with you: we hold too fast by one anothers hearts, my dear Laurens, to be afraid of exposing our several opinions to each other.
...If you see any one I know, among the Carolinians of your acquaintance present my compliments; I would not be thought to have forgot them or my country. Be certain that I never shall forget you.
Adieu,
Francis Kinloch
P.S., Write to me.
