“It was a good idea to send me the other plays. [Hudspeth fn. 1: Emerson had sent copies of William Henry Smith's Athelwold (London, 1842), J.W.”

Hudspeth identified William Henry Smith's Athelwold as one of the plays Emerson sent Fuller on 5 November 1843, and it appears in Fuller's subsequent Dial review of new dramatic works.
