To-day examined the flowers of the Nemopanthes Canadensis,—a genus of a single species, says [Ralph Waldo] Emerson (Journal, 2:206).
Concord, Mass. Ralph Waldo Emerson writes to Ainsworth R. Spofford on 23 May:
I received day before yesterday your letter & its envelope of $5.00 for Mr. Thoreau. He begs me to thank you for your care of his interests, and said, that it was the first money he had received from his book.
