the Thoreau Log.
15 September 1860. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  In morning river is three feet two and a half plus inches above summer level. 6 P.M., river is slightly higher than in morning, or at height . . .

  Looked at Mr. Davis’s museum. Miss Lydia Hosmer (the surviving maiden lady) has given him some relics which belonged to her (the Hosmer) family. A small lead or pewter sun-dial, which she told him was brought over by her ancestors and which has the date 1626 scratched on it . . .

(Journal, 14:87-88)
