Thoreau writes in his journal:
6 P.M. – To Hubbard Bath and Fair Haven Hill . . . (Journal, 6:437-440).
Thoreau gives a copy of Walden to Harvard Library, inscribing it “Library of Harvard University from the Author,”; the copy is stamped “Received 14 August 1854.” Thoreau also gives a copy of Walden to Mrs. Ralph Waldo Emerson, inscribing it “Lidian Emerson from her friend Henry Thoreau.” Thoreau gives a copy of Walden to his friend Richard F. Fuller, inscribing it “R. F. Fuller form H. D. T.” [All three copies are now at Houghton Library, Harvard University.]
