the Thoreau Log.
around 24 July 1861.

Moncure Daniel Conway writes later of a visit to Concord, Mass.:

  I went to Concord, but optimism had fled even from the home of Emerson. The town was in trepidation for the fate of several of its youths who had not been heard from since the disaster at Manassas . . .

  Thoreau, sadly out of health, was the only cheerful man in Concordia; he was in a state of exaltation about the moral regeneration of the nation.
