Mary Townsend Fussell was Graceanna Lewis' niece. Lewis praises the way Fussell runs her household and has raised her children and proposes taking her mother to Media for her birthday and buying handkerchiefs as a present. She also grieves someone named Emma, likely Fussell's sister Emma Jane Fussell, who died from an illness caught while tending to sick and wounded soldiers during the Civil War.
