Flegler, S[antania] F. 1 page. 28 cm. Small hole through one crossed out word. One horizontal and two vertical folds (for mailing). Written on lined stationery identifying Flegler as Presiding Elder of the Marion District (in South Carolina) of the AME Church. Flegler asks Young to act on his behalf in recovering $175 for a parcel of land whose title appears to have remained in doubt in Summerville, S.C. Flegler was a "Back to Africa" advocate. He actually went with a band of people to live in Liberia in 1878 under the auspices of the Liberian Exodus Association, a short-lived group. Flegler returned to South Carolina within a few years or less. Of his emigration to Liberia, Flegler said in an address to the AME's South Carolina Conference in 1890 in support of AME missionary efforts in Liberia: "I would not be here today,if I could have induced my family to join me when I was in Africa. I have too much soul in me to be satisfied with the condition that presents itself here. I recognize no man to be my superior, nor any race to be naturally in advance of ours." Flegler High School in Marion, South Carolina was named for Rev. Flegler when founded in 1882.- $200
