“The address is to be printed— I did not go down to hear.”
Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. I. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1983.
Fuller mentions "the address" as something "to be printed," which Hudspeth identified as Emerson's Divinity School Address, delivered in July 1838 and published in August 1838 by James Munroe.
“I had excellent times at home, with my own soul, and excellent times with Mr Emerson, seeing his shine out through all this fog.”
Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. I. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1983.
Fuller refers to "all this fog" and "dirt is being thrown at them," which Hudspeth identified as comments on the controversy following Emerson's Divinity School Address of July 1838, which sparked fierce debate among Boston Unitarians.
