the Thoreau Log.
30 May 1856. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Linnaea Wood-lot . . .

  Return via Clamshell. Yellow clover abundantly out, though the heads are small yet. Are they quite open? Comandra umbellata, apparently a day or two.

  Frank Harding caught five good-sized chivin this cold day from the new stone bridge . . .

(Journal, 8:358-359)

Concord, Mass. Ralph Waldo Emerson writes to his brother William, concerning the death of their brother Bulkeley:

  Mr Thoreau kindly undertook the charge of the funeral and Rev Mr Reynolds [Grindall Reynolds] to whom I had explained what I thought necessary, & whom Lidian visited afterwards lest he should not do justice to Bulkeley’s virtues, officiated.
(The Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson, 5:149)
