the Thoreau Log.
11 February 1857. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  The meadows, flooded by the that of the last half of last week and Sunday, are now frozen hard enough to bear, and it is excellent skating.  Near the other swamp white oak on Shattuck’s piece I found another caterpillar on the ice. [B]eing placed on the mantelpiece it soon became relaxed, and in fifteen minutes began to crawl . . .
(Journal, 9:253)

On 11 February 1857, the Worcester Daily Spy published an item praising Thoreau’s recent Fitchburg on “The Wild” the week before and notes that it will be repeated on 13 February at Brinley Hall.
