the Thoreau Log.
25 September 1856. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  The river has risen again considerably (this I believe the fourth time), owing to the late copious rains. This before the farmers have succeeded in their late attempt to get their meadow-hay after all.

  It had not got down before this last rain but to within some eighteen inches, at least, of the usual level in September.

  P.M.—To Harrington road . . .
