 Concord, Saturday, June 21st, '56. Dear Sir:

On the 12 ''ult. I forwarded the two books to California, observing your directions in every particular, and I trust that Uncle Sam will discharge his duty faithfully. While in Worcester this week I obtained the accompanying daguerreotype—which my friends think is pretty good—though better looking than I.''

Yrs Henry D. Thoreau.
