the Thoreau Log.
19 June 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—Up Assabet . . .

  Mr. Bull found in his garden this morning a snapping turtle about twenty rods from the brook, which had there just made a round hole . . . (Journal, 7:428-429).

Ralph Waldo Emerson writes to his brother William Emerson:

  Henry Thoreau is feeble, & languishes this season, to our alarm. We have tried to persuade him to come & spend a week with us for a change (The Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson, 4:512).
