“get from J. Dwight Tennyson's 2d vol and the Lives of Hayden and Mozart for me.”
Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. I. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1983.
Inferred Fuller explicitly requests "the Lives of Hayden and Mozart," identified by Hudspeth as Alexandre César Bombet's (Stendhal's) Vies de Haydn, de Mozart, et de Métastase, translated as The Lives of Haydn and Mozart.
“Little Mozart would say almost every moment- Do you love me and if any one said No the tears would roll down his cheeks.”
Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. II. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1984.
Inferred Fuller quotes Stendhal's anecdote about the young Mozart's need for affection, which Hudspeth identified as drawn from The Lives of Haydn and Mozart (p. 338); Fuller later republished this same anecdote in her October 1841 Dial review of the work.
“As Bombet's lives of Haydn and Mozart are accessible here through an American edition, I shall not speak of these masters with as much particularity as of the three other artists.”
The same sentence also names Life of Haydn and Mozart. Counted as one engagement.
