Graceanna Lewis letter to Mary Townsend

Mary Townsend was an author and close friend of Graceanna Lewis'. She thanks Townsend for the books she sent for Lewis's sister, who is recovering from an illness. She discusses the virtues of a man named C.M.B. (most likely Cyrus Moses Burleigh) and says she gave him a picture of Townsend. She also touches on the idea of universal love and her worry that her activism stems from love of right rather than love of man. Lewis alludes to the fact that Townsend is going to an antislavery meeting. She says that Libby has started her school, expresses her satisfaction at her family having hired a girl she finds satisfactory at her work. She also uses electricity in a metaphor.
