In Fuller’s words

“the meeting was in response to a suggestion by Orestes Brownson that the writers contribute to his Quarterly rather than start a new periodical. The suggestion, if it was made, was declined”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. II. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1984.

Hudspeth identified Brownson's Boston Quarterly Review as the periodical Brownson suggested the Transcendentalists contribute to instead of launching a new journal, which would become The Dial. The reference appears in Hudspeth's apparatus rather than in the letter text itself.
