the Thoreau Log.
15 June 1856. Worcester, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Mrs. Brown [Sarah Ann Brown] reads a letter from John Downs in Philadelphia to Mr. Brown, [Theophilus Brown] in which he remembers his early youth in Shrewsbury and the pout accompanied by her young. A Miss Martha Le Barron describes to me a phosphorescence on the beach at night in Narragansett Bay . . .

  P.M.—To some woods southwest of Worcester . . .

  A night-flowering cereus opens three or four times at a Mrs. Newton’s while I am there . . .

(Journal, 8:378-379)
