Description
|
Dora Kelly Lewis and her husband, Lawrence Lewis Jr., were prolific correspondents even before they married in 1883. In this letter, Dora tells Larry about her time walking around New York City and shares some gossip about an unlikely engagement between two individuals. She also describes spending time working on "horrid little garments" for a Miss Cole. She concludes that "I made up my mind never to sew another stitch as long as I live. I wish people wore togas instead of nasty little dresses with ruffles and things."
