the Thoreau Log.
4 May 1857. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Rain. The barber tells me that the masons of New York tell him that they would prefer human hair to that of cattle mix with their plastering.

  Balm-of-Gilead pollen in house to-day; outdoors, say to-morrow, if fair.

  Minott tells me of one Matthias Bowers, a native of Chelmsford and cousin of C. Bowers, a very active fellow, who used to sleep with him and when he found the door locked would climb over tlne roof and come in at the dormer-window . . .

(Journal, 9:356-357)
