Description
|
Esther Lewis's part quotes extensively from a letter from Jacob Fussell, who witnessed several slave auctions while in Richmond, Virginia; passes on news of family and friends; and discusses the family's crop yield. Graceanna Lewis's part alludes to Rebecca Fussell's antislavery activism, discusses Edwin Fussell's ambivalence about remaining in the Society of Friends and Lewis's own feelings about the Society and its position on slavery.
