Description
|
Mary Townsend was an author and close friend of Graceanna Lewis'. Lewis recently attended an antislavery meeting where Elijah Pennypacker, her brother-in-law Edwin Fussell, and a Baptist minister named John Collins discussed communal living and its relationship to progress; the letter summarizes their positions. "Miss Abby" (likely Abby Kimber) was also there. Lewis discusses ideas of morality and religion; she also mentions attending a meeting of the Royal Spring Temperance Society and an anti-tobacco pledge that has been circulating.
