“Richter is as you say. I will send you a little notice of the book from my journal.”

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

Inferred Fuller refers to reading "the book" about Richter and promises "a little notice of the book from my journal," referring to Eliza Buckminster Lee's Life of Jean Paul Frederic Richter. Fuller subsequently reviewed this biography in Dial 3 (1843), confirming her active engagement with Lee's work.
