The Heart and the World

InferredHudspeth identified this second play as The Heart and the World (1847), which "was a failure on the stage." Fuller does not name the play explicitly in her letter, but clearly knows of it and is requesting it, establishing her reading interest and likely prior knowledge. Hudspeth identified the title.
