Title:
Graceanna Lewis letter to Rebecca Lewis Fussell and Edwin Fussell
Description:
Rebecca Lewis Fussell was Graceanna Lewis' sister; Edwin Fussell was Rebecca Lewis Fussell's husband. Lewis describes the school where she is teaching and the area around it. She mentions reading lots of books, including "Burritt's Geography of the Heavens." She talks about teaching the children about slavery, which she feels is her duty even if the parents of the children would object, because she sees the children as human beings who need to be taught such things and not just other people's children. She mentions "Dissolution of the Union" excitement and favors it in the same sense that she would withdraw from a corrupt church.
