Passages where the evidence goes beyond allusion to indicate that Fuller had this work in hand — an explicit statement of reading, sustained excerpting or translation, or a specific reading episode recorded by those who knew her.
“Since I came, I have read two charming stories recently written by her.”
Letters of Margaret Fuller ed. Hudspeth · Paris, 18 January 1847; footnote: and La Mare au diable, which had been published in the Courrier francais, 6-15 February 1846
Same explicit first-person statement 'I have read two charming stories' covers this second Sand work.
“Since I came, I have read two charming stories recently written by her.”
Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. IV. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1987.
Fuller explicitly stated she read both this story and Teverino since arriving in Paris, a reading as Hudspeth identified.
“Teverino" and the "Mare au Diable," which she has lately published, are as original, as masterly in truth, and as free in invention, as anything she has done.”
