“Why have I never seen that voyage to Jamaica, how excellent, though so slight a thing for its life and health and spirit.”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. III. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1986.

Fuller refers to "that voyage to Jamaica" descriptively, encountering it for the first time in this issue of the Dial; Hudspeth identified this as Benjamin P. Hunt's "Voyage to Jamaica" (pp. 116-33).
