In a letter dictated to his sister Sophia, Thoreau writes to Ticknor & Fields:
I send you with this a paper called The Higher Law, it being much shorter & easier to prepare than that on Walking. It will not need to be divided on account of its length, as indeed the subject does not permit it. I should like to know that you receive it & also about what time it will be published.
Yours truly
H D. Thoreau
