Joseph Fussell was Graceanna Lewis' cousin. He talks about the school where he is working and teaching African American students. He finds them equal "in intellectual capacity to the majority of white children of their age and having had the same opportunity for acquiring learning." He writes extensively about phrenology and discusses it in relation to his students. He also mentions poet John Greenleaf Whittier and says that "he is sometimes a little astray of the path."
