Concord, Sunday,
Oct. 30, 1859.
Thoreau reads a
paper of his on John Brown, his virtues, spirit, and deeds, at the vestry this
evening, and to the delight of his company, I am told, — the best that could be
gathered on short notice, and among them Emerson. I am not informed in season,
and have my meeting at the same time. I doubt not of its excellence and
eloquence, and wish he may have opportunities of reading it elsewhere.
