The lectures which you refer to were reported in the newspapers, after a fashion, the last one in some half dozen of them, and if I possessed one, or all, of those reports I would send them to you, bad as they are. The best, or at least longest one of the Brown Lecture was in the Boston “Atlas & Bee” of Nov 2nd. Maybe half the whole. There were others in the Traveller – the Journal &c of the same date.

  I am glad to know that you are interested to see my things. & I wish that I had them in a printed form to send to you. I exerted myself considerably to get the last discourse printed & sold for the benefit of Brown’s family – but the publishers are afraid of pamphlets & it is now too late.

  I return the stamps which I have not used.

  I shall be glad to see you if I ever came your way

Yours truly
Henry D. Thoreau
