the Thoreau Log.
April 1861. Concord, Mass.

Mary Mann writes to Thoreau:

Dear Mr. Thoreau,

  Mrs. Josiah Quincy, a lady who reads & admires your books very much, is passing a few days with me. Will you come in and dine with us to-day—It will give her much pleasure to see you, & when your are tired of talking with ladies, Horace will be glad to have his promised visit & you shall release yourself when you please.

With much regard,
Mary Mann

We dine at one.

(The Correspondence of Henry David Thoreau, 614)
