Thoreau writes in his journal:
P.M.—To Corner Spring and Fair Haven Cliff . . .
Returning toward Fair Haven, I perceive at Potter’s fence the first whiff of that ineffable fragrance from the Wheeler meadow . . . Sit on Cliffs . . . Returning slowly, I sit on the wall of the orchard by the white pine . . . Coming home from Spring by Potter’s Path to the Corner road in the dusk, saw a dead-leaf-colored hylodes . . .
Thoreau also surveys land for John Raynolds (A Catalog of Thoreau’s Surveys in the Concord Free Public Library, 10; Henry David Thoreau papers. Special Collections, Concord (Mass.) Free Public Library).
