13 April 1859. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

The streets are strewn with the bud-scales of the elm, which they, opening, have lost off, and their tops present a rich brown already . . .

P.M.—Paddle to Ball’s Hill and sail back . . . (Journal, 12:140-141).

Thoreau also drafts a letter to Charles C. Shackford (The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau (ucsb.edu); MS, Houghton Library, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.).
