Thoreau writes to Moncure Conway in reply to his letter of 19 November:

Mr. Conway

  Let me thank you for your earthy and [word] of Capt. Brown. As for your new Dial I do not think of any Thing which I have available for your purpose & other engagements prevent my preparing it. While I wish you success I know at [word] your assistance knowing myself so well.

  I can only say that if I [word] [word] on any & the [word] I will remember your magazine.

  To follow out your simile I find in my sea some mother o’ pearl—it may be but very few pearls as yet—may I now good wishes & more [word] and [word] [word?] ment—

  But this will not be worth an advertisement

(The Correspondence of Henry David Thoreau, 565-566)

Daniel Ricketson writes in his journal:

  Walked this P.M. with Thoreau to the Hallowell farm; returned to Thoreau’s room; plain talk, perhaps too much so (Daniel Ricketson and His Friends, 313).
