Thoreau writes in his journal:
Thoreau also writes to Sarah E. Webb:
Your note, which was directed to Concord N.H., has just reached me. The address to which you refer has not been printed in a pamphlet form. It appeared in the Liberator, from which it was copied into the Tribune, &, with omissions, into the Anti-Slavery Standard. I am sorry that I have not a copy to send you. I have published “A Week on the Concord & Merrimack Rivers,” as well as “Walden, or Life in the Woods,” and some miscellaneous papers. The “Week” probably is not for sale at any bookstore. The greater part of the edition was returned to me.
Respectfully
Henry D. Thoreau.
“Undoubtedly slavery in Massachusetts, which Thoreau had delivered before the Anti-Slavery Convention at Framingham the preceding July 4, was the address Miss Webb had in mind.”
