Thoreau writes in his journal:
P.M.—Walked round by Dennis’s and Hollowell place with Alcott [A. Bronson Alcott].
It is suddenly very warm. A washinq day, with a slight haze accompanying the strong, warm wind. I see, in the road beyond Luther Homer’s, in different places, two bank swallows . . .
A. Bronson Alcott writes in his journal:
Walk with Thoreau by the Cottage and Hollowell Place, and dine with him . . .
Meet my friends and former neighbors in Emerson’s [Ralph Waldo Emerson] parlour’s—Miss Mary Emerson, Mrs. Browne, Miss Jane Whitney, Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Ripley, Thoreau, Sanborn, and many more, and talk pleasantly on Society—Emerson, Thoreau, Mrs. Emerson, Mrs. Ripley, Sanborn contributing to the entertainment.
