“I will tell you just what I think of the new Dolon. I hope you will keep the other two just as they are. Sometime, I want to hear them read again.”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. III. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1986.

Hudspeth identified Newcomb left the manuscript with Emerson, impressing both him and other members of the Transcendentalist circle.
