Thoreau writes in his journal:
Soaking rains, and in the night. A few fireflies still at night (Journal, 14:55).
A. Bronson Alcott writes in his journal:
Thoreau is here in the evening and tells me of his trip to the Monadnock with Channing lately. He is always entertaining, and draws my wife and girls to hear what he says when he comes to see us (The Journals of Bronson Alcott, 329).
