Author
Ellen Sturgis Hooper is documented in Fuller’s letters (1844–1849). No work is named in the surviving passages, most often in Letter to Caroline Sturgis, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “analyzed”.
Reprints, Memoirs passages, and repeat notes within a single manuscript are shown but never counted twice. Evidence for this author is selective, not exhaustive. Methodology →

Jane, now unlawfully called King, would I know copy them for me, if she has time. Thank much for those you did send. The horizon line she had shown me but I had not kept a copy”
