the Thoreau Log.
5 April 1840. Concord, Mass.

Edmund Quincy Sewall Jr. writes to his cousin Mary Sewall Ward:

  I am going to school here now to a Mr Thoreau who is a very pleasant school-master. Saturdays we do nothing but write composition . . .

  I have been out to sail once since I have been here in Mr. Thoreau’s boat. He has a very good boat which he and his brother made themselves. The river was then quite high and we sailed very fast a part of the way.

(Concord Saunterer, OS vol. 17, no. 3 (December 1984): 2–3)
