Thoreau writes in his journal:
Horace Mann says that he killed a bullfrog in Walden Pond which had swallowed and contained a common striped snake . . . (Journal, 14:337).
William Ellery Channing writes to Mary Russell Watson:
Henry’s bronchitis is very obstinate. It does not perceptibly mend; it is understood the physician advises a warmer climate. I have still confidence that Henry may recover . . . knowing how perfectly obstinate he also is . . . Henry has lost much flesh; he is intensely sensitive about cold . . . (Emerson Society Quarterly 14 (1st quarter 1959):79).
