When talking with Fanny, a woman named Miss Parker mentioned how much she looked like her parents. Fanny was quite happy with this comparison, showing how fond she was of her mother and father.

“She pleased me by discovering a likeness in me to father, a similarity in the workings of the face–she could not see it as much to Mother, whom she has never met but once–but I am often told now, though I used not to be that I am like her in looks–& also that my figure & voice resemble hers at my age–would that my character might partake in these similarities” April 24 1862
