the Thoreau Log.
6 September 1860.
Concord, Mass. Thoreau writes in his journal:

  The willows and button-bushes have very rapidly yellowed . . . (Journal, 14:74).

Lowell, Mass. Charles P. Ricker writes to Thoreau:

Mr. H. D. Thoreau:

  Yours of the 31st. is recieved. We shall expect you to address our people next Sabbath. Arriving at Lowell, you will find me at No 21 Central Street, or at residence No. 123 East Merrimack Street, or you can take a coach direct to Mr. Owen’s, No 52 East Merrimack Street, who will be in readiness to entertain you, and with whom you will find a pleasant home during your stay among us.

  Hoping to see you soon I remain

Yours Respectfully
Charles P. Ricker
