New York, N.Y. The New-York Daily Tribune reports:
Among the remains [of the Elizabeth], however, was a trunk belonging to the late Margaret Fuller Ossoli. We were promptly notified of its arrival by Mr. E. J. Fowler, Assistant Store-Keeper, through whose kind aid and that of the Custom-House Officers, the necessary formalities were speedily adjusted, and little time was lost in placing the sad relics in the hands of her family. The lock of the trunk had been wrenched off by the plunderers of Fire Island, and no doubt some of the contents removed. Fortunately, the manuscripts are still capable of restoration, though it is to be feared the most valuable papers are lost . . .
Mr. Henry D. Thoreau is still on Fire Island, and Mr. W[illiam]. E[llery]. Channing, the brother in law of Margaret Fuller Ossoli, leaves this morning for the same place. We shall probably receive further intelligence in the course of the day.
Boston, Mass. A. Bronson Alcott writes in his journal:
He tells me (Emerson) [Ralph Waldo Emerson] that W. H. Channing [William Henry Channing] and Henry Thoreau have gone to Fire Island in hopes of recovering the remains; also the work on Italy (The Journals of Bronson Alcott, 232).
