“I have been much pleased with Mr Clough's which he sent me and with those of two of his friends Burbidge and Arnold, they are of the Emersonian kind, entirely out of all rule, not of high power, but genuine though imperfect reflexes of the higher life of their writers.”

“will you write some sincere words of you, at least as much so as you have put in your print.”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. VI. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1988.

Inferred Fuller tells Clough she hopes he will write to her as sincerely as "you have put in your print"—referring to his published writings. At this date (February 1850), the most likely candidates are The Bothie of Tober-na-Vuolich (1848) and Ambarvalia (1849, jointly with Thomas Burbidge), though no specific work is named.
