Graceanna Lewis letter to Esther Fussell Lewis, William Fussell and Co.
Description
Esther Fussell Lewis was Graceanna Lewis' mother; William Fussell was Esther Fussell Lewis' brother. Written while Lewis was teaching at a boarding school in York, Pennsylvania. Lewis writes that Phoebe Wright attended Yearly Meeting and tells them about it (likely referring to abolitionist Phebe Wierman Wright). She tells a story about going for a walk and finding two flowers she'd never seen before and then going to see Howard Gilbert and his pupils for help in identifying them. She also talks about visiting the "Poor House" a quarter mile away.
