Scope and Content Information

This letter from George H. Calvert, Newport, R.I. (1883 February 21) to Kate Sanborn responds to Sanborn's request for his personal reminiscences of Margaret Fuller. He mentions his first meeting with her in 1837 in Newport, Rhode Island, in the home of Miss Gibbs, the sister of Mrs. [William Ellery ?] Channing and Fuller's disagreement over the literary merits of Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd's poem Ion recently republished in Boston with Dr. [William Ellery ?] Channing (1780-1842). Other memories include traveling to her home in Brookline, Massachusetts in 1838 where he enjoyed an evening with Mrs. [George ?] Ripley and [Ralph Waldo] Emerson, and a visit several years later to the editorial room of The Tribune where his talk with Fuller apparently disturbed Horace Greeley. Calvert's wife had a letter from Fuller written in 1838, which she enclosed [not present] for Sanborn to copy and return.
