“Will you send me Typee and Titmarsh's journey. Mr Duyckinck wished me to look at them.”
Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. IV. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1987.
Fuller asks for "Titmarsh's journey," Hudspeth identified that both this work and Melville's Typee were the subject of Fuller's Tribune essay on 4 April, in which she found Titmarsh "amusing but flippant."
“The journey of Mr. “Titmarsh,” though amusing enough, is too flippant in its fun—too much in the Theodore Hook style, to suit our fancy.”
Fuller, Margaret. "Wiley & Putnam’s Library." New-York Daily Tribune, 4 April 1846. · 4 April 1846
“In the last letter did you tell where you left Mr. B.'s 'Vanity Fair'; he is a man never to forget, I may add forgive its loss.”
Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. VI. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1988.
