Thoreau writes in his journal:
Thoreau also writes to James Russell Lowell:
The proofs, for which I did ask in the note which accompanied the ms, would have been an all sufficient “Bulletin.”
I was led to suppose by Mr Emerson’s account,—and he advised me to send immediately—that you were not always even one month ahead. At any rate it was important to me that the paper be disposed of soon.
I send by express this morning the remainder of the story—of which allow me to ask a sight of the proofs.
Yrs. truly
Henry D. Thoreau
