the Thoreau Log.
9 February 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  A.M.—To old Hunt house with Thatcher [George Thatcher] . . .

  Saw at Simon Brown’s a sketch, apparently made with pen, on which was written, “Concord Jail, near Boston America,” and on a fresher piece of paper on which the above was pasted, was written, “The jail in which General Sir Archld Campbell &—Wilson were confined when taken off Boston in America by a French Privateer” . . .

(Journal, 10:279-280)
