Concord, Mass. Thoreau writes in his journal:
Here was evidently warmer water, probably a spring, and they had crowded to it. Looking more attentively, I detected also a great many minnows about one inch long either floating dead there or frozen into the ice,—at least fifty of them . . .
Montreal, Queb. Thomas Cholmondeley writes to Thoreau:
I am at Montreal & I think I shall pass south not far from you. I shall be on Tuesday evening at the Revere at Boston. I am going to spend the winter in the West Indies. What do you say to come there too?
Yrs ever
Thos Cholmondeley
