the Thoreau Log.
5 May 1840. Concord, Mass.

Ellen Sewall writes in her diary:

  Edmund seems to be very happy indeed. I am very glad he is with the Thoreaus and Grandma and Aunt . . .

  Grandma sent me a nice pair of cotton stockings in the bundle and John Thoreau sent me an arrowhead. Anything from him is acceptable. He sent Georgie some goldleaf.
