“Two of Milnes's Shadows are the gracefullest things I have seen! Thank you!”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. II. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1984.

Fuller names Milnes's "Shadows" explicitly, calling two of them "the gracefullest things I have seen" in thanks to Emerson for sharing them; as Hudspeth identified as published in Poems of Many Years (1838).
