Description

Fragment. Lewis writes that Dr. Loomis, the founder and principal of the Foster School for Girls where Lewis was teaching, suggested that Lewis' portrait may be wanted for the "Portraits of Scientific Men." Lewis is excited at the prospect which she feels will help her become more well known as a naturalist. She would like to have her nephew Charles Lewis Fussell paint her portrait so that it may help make him more well known as an artist.
