Thoreau writes in his journal:
28th at eve leave Sheboygan & steam north-east to Carp River (Thoreau’s Minnesota Journey, 25).
Horace Mann Jr. writes to his mother Mary twice, the first being a postscript to his letter of 27 June:
Horace Mann
As you see by the date we are on Lake Michigan. It is a beautiful day again, though it is a little cloudy this afternoon, & a little cool on the lake.
We bought our tickets for Boston this morning for which we paid $20.15 over $5.00 cheaper than the way we came out. The tickets are via Goderich, Stratford, Ogdensburg, Rouse’s Point, Vermont Central R.R. and Lowell to Boston. We have a lay over ticket by which we can stay as long as we please at Mackinaw, which will be, I think, about 5 days. We shall then come right home, stopping somewhere over Sunday [7 July].
