Date and recipient inferred. Mary Townsend was an author and close friend of Graceanna Lewis's. Lewis is glad that magnetism has helped Townsend recover; she gives details of her mother Esther Lewis's use of it, and says that while it may be fiction, it works. Lewis encourages Townsend to speak out more on antislavery, and discusses reform in general; after mentioning those who ask for merciful treatment out of self-interest, she says that "true reform can have no sympathy." She mentions some writing that Townsend sent to her, and spends some time on theological questions of divine love and the source of evil. She ends by describing garden work and her fondness for insects.
