Inferred Jameson's Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada (London: Saunders and Otley, 1838) in her planning notes for Summer on the Lakes. She notes that Jameson 'looks generously at the Indian' and records what Jameson learned from Mrs. Fuller also references 'Mackina' (Mackinac), which is a focal location in Jameson's book. Fuller's own visit to Mackinac (1843) mirrors Jameson's itinerary.
