the Thoreau Log.
10 February 1851. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes to Thaddeus William Harris:

Dear Sir,

  I return by the bearer De Laet’s “Novus Orbis” &c. Will you please send me Alfred Hawkins’ “Picture of Quebec” and “Silliman’s Tour of Quebec”?

  If these are not in—then Wytfliet’s “Descriptionis Ptolemaicae Argumentum &c and Lescarbot “Les Muses de la Nouvelle France.”

  Yrs respectly

  Henry D. Thoreau

(The Correspondence of Henry David Thoreau, 272)
Cambridge, Mass. Thaddeus William Harris apparently sends Hawkins’s picture of Quebec; with historical recollections and Remarks made on a short tour between Hartford and Quebec, in the autumn of 1819 by Benjamin Silliman to Thoreau from Harvard College Library.
