Why can't use private specifier in C#

It compiles, but if you uncomment "private", it fails to compile.  WHY?
Using VS 2005.

using System;
 
namespace myNameSpace
{
    public class MyClass1
    {
          public int age;
    };
 
    public class MyClass2
    {
        public void foo()
        {
            /* private*/ MyClass1 myClass1;
        }
    };
};

Local variables may not have public, protected or private specifiers.
They are local to the procedure or function and are visible only within that procedure or function.
