Hannah Wright Mifflin was a Quaker whose family was involved with the Underground Railroad. Lewis discusses the birth of her sister Rebecca Fussell's grandchild, Alice Fussell, and reflects on motherhood. She writes that African-American abolitionist William Still wants to write up a story about a time Mifflin's parents, William and Phebe Wright, aided a fugitive slave. Lewis is working on a piece about Elijah F. Pennypacker's work helping runaway slaves. Lewis's nephew Linnaeus Fussell is in Central America.
