Ralph Waldo Emerson writes to his brother William:
Henry Thoreau brought me his letter from you announcing Susan’s improvement and at the same time the illness of Charles . . . Henry T. thanks you for the purse and says that the Pindar he will return through me, & says that he left nothing of any value at all in his chamber You will please use your discretion with any matters found there.
(The Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson, 3:228-229)
