“I thank you a thousand times for 'The Rivals.' Alas!! I must leave my heart in the book, and spend the livelong morning in reading to a sick lady from some amusing story-book.”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. I. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1983.

Hudspeth identified this as Gerald Griffin's The Rivals; Tracy's Ambition, and Griffin (1803–1840) was an Irish novelist and playwright best known for The Collegians.
