the Thoreau Log.
5 September 1859. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Spent a part of the forenoon in the woods in the northwest part of Acton, searching for a stone suitable for a millstone for my lead-mill (Journal, 12:316).

Thoreau also writes to E.G. Dudley:

E. G. Dudley Esq.

Dear Sir

  I will read a lecture to your company on the 9th of October, for the compensation named. I should prefer, however, to bring one which I call “Life Misspent,” instead of “Autumnal Tints.”

Yrs truly
Henry D. Thoreau
