The Oneida Institution opened on the bank of the Erie Canal in Whitesboro near Utica, New York under the leadership of one George W. Gale who “having impaired his own health through hard study had regained it through farm work.” It may have been an informal sort of institution until the Oneida Presbytery took it over and appointed Gale its 1st president.1 At that time it was being intended as a school for the preparation of Presbyterian ministers. According to Benjamin Thomas’s THEODORE WELD (Rutgers UP, 1950, page 18), one of the students at this Whitesboro “manual labor institution” would be .

April 30, Sunday: Ewald Flügel would publish and annotate the following Waldo Emerson letter in 1889. It is a letter that Charles Stearns Wheeler had received while seeking in Europe relief from the tuberculosis that would take his life at Leipzig on June 13th. At Leipzig he had become intimate with the American consul, Dr. Johann Gottfried Flügel (grandfather of Ewald Flügel), and had given the manuscript letter to him in token of this relation. The letter included information about Robert Bartlett, who had taken an ocean cruise to Havana on account of his health, and about Emerson’s Latin School chum Samuel Bradford, Junior, and about Ellery Channing, Elizabeth Sherman Hoar, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Thoreau, Bronson Alcott, Charles Lane, Henry G. Wright (1814?-1846) the mystic teacher of the Ham Common School near Richmond in Surrey who in 1842 came with Alcott and Lane and joined Brook Farm and then the Fourierists, George Partridge Bradford of Brook Farm, Giles Waldo, Henry James, Sr., William Aspinwall Tappan, Miss Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Margaret Fuller, and Horace Mann, Sr., as well as THE DIAL. My dear Wheeler, It is very late for me to begin to thank you by letter for your abundant care & supply of my wants, and, to point the reproach, here has come this day as I am putting pen to paper to send by Mr. Mann tomorrow, a pair of books from Mr. Weiss, brought from your own hands. Two full letters I have received, & printed the substance of the same, & had the reading of a part of two more addressed to Robert Bartlett, since I wrote you. But, all winter, from 1 January to 10 March, I was absent from home, at Washington, Baltimore, Phila & N Y, & would not write letters to Germany, on the road. — What shall I tell you. Our Dial, enriched by your manifold Intelligence, yet languishes somewhat in the scantiness of purchasing patrons, so that Miss Peabody wrote me at N.Y. that its subscription list did not now pay its expenses. I hoped that was a hint not to be mistaken, that I might drop it. But many persons expressed so much regret at the thought of its dying, that it is to live one year more. Ellery Channing has written lately some good poems for it, one, especially, called “Death” & a copy of verses addressed by him to Elizabeth Hoar. Channing has just rented the little red house next below mine, on the Turnpike, and is coming to live here next week. His friend, S.G. Ward, is editing a volume (about the size of one of your Tennyson’s) of Channing’s poetry, which will appear in a week or two. Thoreau goes next week to New York: My brother William at Staten Island has invited him to take charge of the education of his son, for a year or more, & the neighborhood of the city offers many advantages to H T. — Hawthorne remains in his seat, & writes very actively for all the magazines. Alcott & Lane remain also in their cottage. [Henry G.] Wright has withdrawn from them, & joins the Fourierists, who are beginning to buy & settle land. These are all our village news of any import: only, next week, they begin to build a railroad, which may unseat us all, & drive us into new solitudes. I do not notice any very valuable signs about us in the literary & spiritual realm. Yet I found at Washington, & at NY some friends whom I greatly cherish [these had been Giles Waldo, Henry James, Sr., and William Aspinwall Tappan]. I think our wide community with its abundant reading, & a culture not dependant on one city, but taking place everywhere in detached nervous centres, promises to yield, & already yields a great deal of private original unviolated thought & character. Nature is resolved to make a stand against the Market, which has grown HDT WHAT? INDEX

Brook Farm is an experiment of another kind, where a hot-bed culture is applied, and everything private is published, & carried to its extreme. I learn from all quarters that a great deal of action & courage has been shown there, & my friend Hawthorn almost regrets that he had not remained there, to see the unfolding & issue of so much bold life. He would have staid to be its historian. My friend Mr Bradford writes me from B.F. [Brook Farm] that he has formed several new friendships with old friends, such new grounds of character have been disclosed. They number in all about 85 souls. — You will have heard of Carlyle’s new work “Past & Present.” I am just now printing it in Boston (from Ms. partly) braving the chances of piracy from New York. It is certain to be popular from the fear of one class & the hope of another: and is preliminary, Carlyle seems to think, to Cromwell. It is full of brilliant points & is excellent history, true history of England in 1843. — You will have heard of Robert Bartlett’s illness, & the great anxiety of his friends respecting him. He went away, I heard, in good spirits, & somewhat amended: but his health is in a most critical condition. It is a great grief to me, who was every year learning to value him more, thought there has been something curious, as well as valuable in his unfolding.... Margaret Fuller thanks you for your account of [August von] Platen[-Hallermünd]; and wishes further to ask you to send her a copy of the Vol. III of Eckermann’s “Conversations with Goethe,” which you announced. I will pay your brother for it.

You have kindly offered to buy for me books or drawings, but I shall not give you that trouble. I read little & not adventurously, but mostly in old & proven books. You shall see & hear for me, and tell me what is the hope of the new mines. Meantime I shall make an experiment on the two new books you have sent me, or at least in person on Theodor Mundt [author of GESCHICHTE DER LITERATUR DES GEGENWART, 1842]. Mr. Mann was to go to Berlin directly, & take on Dials to you; I am sorry, he has changed his plan, & goes slower. In all good hope & assurance, your friend R.W. Emerson HDT WHAT? INDEX

There was an underground limestone chamber 22 feet by 44 feet, that they would use as their church. John Otis Wattles and his wife Friend Esther Whinery Wattles were at a dance party inside this partly finished building (people were making the best of the situation because their neighboring wooden homes had been flooded) when its foundation disintegrated in the floodwaters and the south wall of the structure collapsed. The mortar of the unfinished building had been too fresh to withstand this soaking. Although there were 32 in the structure and 17 of them were crushed or drowned or succumbed to hypothermia, the Wattles family was able to escape intact.

In Washington DC, the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution adopted Secretary Joseph Henry’s Programme of Organization, a plan which consisted of 14 guiding considerations including a suggestion that their Institution should only undertake programs that could not adequately be carried out by other existing United States institutions.

An advertisement for a runaway slave appeared in the Baltimore Sun: $500 REWARD - RAND AWAYS AND HORSE THIEVES - Ran away from the subscriber, living in Baltimore county, Md., near the Granite Quarries, two NEGRO MEN, Brothers, ROSS and JOHN BEALL; the former left on the night of the 11th instant, taking with him one Chestnut Sorrell MARE, the property of his master. Ross has a dark complexion, nearly black, about 23 years of age, about five feet six or seven inches in height,2 and has a down look when spoken to. John left on the 10th instant, and also took a horse belonging to a neighbor. He is 18 years old, about five feet ten inches in height, black complexion, smiles when spoken to, showing very white teeth. I will give the above reward of $500 for the apprehension of both, or $250 for either one of them, to be secured in jail so that I might get them again. Communications addressed to LEMUEL OFFUTT Woodsock Postoffice Baltimore and Ohio Railroad In the same issue of the Baltimore Sun there was an advertisement inquiring into the whereabouts of a free black man (this could conceivably had been someone who was being kidnapped into slavery): ON THE FOURTH OF SEPTEMBER LAST, ALBERT DORSEY, aged 19 years, five feet six inches high, of well-knit frame, chestnut brown, long visage, lower lip hanging, speaks plainly, of quite and reserved manner, born free in Baltimore county, and of excellent conduct and character, was kidnapped and secretly sent from Baltimore city.

After hearing Frederick Douglass speak Sallie Holley had become an abolitionist lecturer. On this day she wrote to informing him that she had had a buggy accident that prevented her from continuing to lecture for the Anti-Slavery Society. Smith had after the death of her father Myron Holley made her a present of $100, and in this letter she explained what she had done with his present and asked for a loan.

October 13, Tuesday: P.M. –To Poplar Hill. Maple fires are burnt out generally, and they have fairly begun to fall and look smoky in the swamps. When my eyes were resting on those smoke-like bare trees, it did not at first occur to me why the landscape was not as brilliant as a few days ago. The outside trees in the swamps lose their leaves first. The brilliancy of young oaks, especially scarlet oaks, in sprout-lands is dulled. These red maples and young scarlet oaks, etc., have been the most conspicuous and important colors, or patches of color, in the landscape. Those most brilliant days, then, so far as the autumnal tints are concerned, are over; i. e., when we may be surprised at any turn by the sight of some incredibly bright and dazzling tree or grove of trees. I noticed the first large white oaks wholly changed to a salmon-color, but not brilliant like those sproutland fires. Are very large oaks never brilliant in their tints? 3 The hickories on Poplar Hill have not lost any of their brilliancy, generally speaking. Some are quite green even. I look down into a mocker-nut, whose recesses and greater part are pure yellow, and from this you pass through a ruddy orange in the more exposed leaves to a rich crispy brown in the leaves of the extreme twigs about the clusters of round green nuts. The red of oaks, etc., is far more general now than three or four days ago, but it is also much duller, so that some maples that were a bright scarlet can now hardly be distinguished by their color from oaks, which have just turned red. The Great Fields from this hill are pale-brown, often hoary –there is not yellow enough for russet– pastures, with very large red or purple patches of blackberry vines. You can only appreciate the effect of these by a strong and peculiar intention of the eye. We ordinarily do not see what is before us, but what our prejudices presume to be there. The pitch and white pines on the north of Sleepy Hollow, i. e. north side the hill, are at the height of their change and are falling. Maybe they are later than on the south side of hills. They are at the height of their change, generally, though many needles fallen, carpeting the ground. Pinweeds are brown; how long? Some of the large ash trees, both a black and white, are quite bare of leaves already. With the red maples, then. Looking from this hill, green begins to look as rare and interesting as any color, –you may say begins to be a color by itself, –and I distinguish green streaks and patches of grass on most hillsides. See a pretty large flock of tree sparrows, very lively and tame, drifting along and pursuing each other along a bushy fence and ditch like driving snow. Two pursuing each other would curve upward like a breaker in the air and drop into the hedge again. Some white willows are very fresh and green yet. This has been the ninth of those wonderful days, and one of the warmest. I am obliged to sit with my window wide open all the evening as well as all day. It is the earlier Indian summer. Our cherry trees have now turned to mostly a red-orange color.

November 20, Friday: High wind in the night, shaking the house, apparently from the northwest.About 9.30 A.M., though there is very little cloud, I see a few flakes of snow, two or three only, like flocks of gossamer, straggling in a slanting direction to the ground, unnoticed by most, in a rather raw air. At ten there is a little more. The children in the next yard have seen it and are excited. They are searching to see if any rests on the ground. In books, that which is most generally interesting is what comes home to the most cherished private experience of the greatest number. It is not the book of him who has travelled the farthest over the surface of the globe, but of him who has lived the deepest and been the most at home. If an equal emotion is excited by a familiar homely phenomenon as by the Pyramids, there is no advantage in seeing the Pyramids. It is on the whole better, as it is simpler, to use the common language. We require that the reporter be very permanently planted before the facts which he observes, not a mere passer-by; hence the facts cannot be too homely. A man is worth most to himself and to others, whether as an observer, or poet, or neighbor, or friend, where he is most himself, most contented and at home. There his life is the most intense and he loses the fewest moments. Familiar and surrounding objects are the best symbols and illustrations of his life. If a man who has had deep experiences should endeavor to describe them in a book of travels, it would be to use the language of a wandering tribe instead of a universal language. The poet has made the best roots in his native soil of any man, and is the hardest to transplant. The man who is often thinking that it is better to be somewhere else than where he is excommunicates himself. If a 3.Yes. HDT WHAT? INDEX

WILLIAM ASPINWALL TAPPAN WILLIAM ASPINWALL TAPPAN man is rich and strong anywhere, it must be on his native soil. Here I have been these forty years learning the language of these fields that I may the better express myself. If I should travel to the prairies, I should much less understand them, and my past life would serve me but ill to describe them. Many a weed here stands for more of life to me than the big trees of California would if I should go there. We only need travel enough to give our intellects an airing. In spite of Malthus and the rest, there will be plenty of room in this world, if every man will mind his own business. I have not heard of any planet running against another yet. P.M. – To Ministerial Swamp. Some bank swallows’ nests are exposed by the caving of the bank at Clamshell. The very smallest hole is about two and a half inches wide horizontally, by barely one high. All are much wider than high (vertically). One nest, with an egg in it still, is completely exposed. The cavity at the end is shaped like a thick hoe-cake or lens, about six inches wide and two plus thick, vertically. The nest is a regular but shallow one made simply of stubble, about five inches in diameter, and three quarters of an inch deep. I see many pollywogs in cold pools now. I enter the Ministerial Swamp at the road below Tarbell’s. The water andromeda leaves are brown now, except where protected by trees. In some places where many of the bright-crimson shoots of high blueberry are seen together, they have a very pretty effect, a crimson vigor to stand above the snow. Where the larches stand thick with their dark boles and stems, the ground is thickly strewn with their fine and peculiarly dark brown leaves, chaff-like, i. e. darker than those of other pines, perhaps like black walnut or cherry shavings. As where other evergreens stand thick, little or nothing grows beneath. I see where squirrels (apparently) have eaten and stripped the spruce cones. I distinguished where the earth was cast out in cutting ditches through this swamp long ago, and this earth is covered and concealed with a thick growth of cup and cockscomb lichens. In this light-lying earth. in one place, I see where some creature some time ago has pawed out much comb of some kind of bee (probably for the honey?), making a hole as big as my head, and this torn comb lies about. Returning through Harrington’s land, I see, methinks, two gentlemen plowing a field, as if to try an agricultural experiment, –for, it being cold and windy, both plowman and driver have their coats on, –but when I get closer, I hear the driver speak in a peculiarly sharp and petulant manner to the plowman as they are turning the land furrow, and I know at once that they belong to those two races which are so slow to amalgamate. Thus my little idyl is disturbed. I see a partridge [Ruffed Grouse Bonasa umbellus (Partridge)] on the ground under a white oak by Tarbell’s black birches, looking just like a snag. This is the second time I have seen them in such a place. Are they not after acorns? In the large Tommy Wheeler field, Ranunculus bulbosus in full bloom! I hear again the soft rippling of the Assabet under those black birches, which Tappan once remarked on. It is not so steep a fall as to be hoarse. The hardy tree sparrow has taken the place of the chipping and song sparrow, so much like the former that most do not know it is another. His faint lisping chip will keep our spirits up till another spring. I observed this afternoon how some bullocks had a little sportiveness forced upon them. They were running down a steep declivity to water, when, feeling themselves unusually impelled by gravity downward, they took the hint even as boys do, flourished round gratuitously, tossing their hind quarters into the air and shaking their heads at each other, but what increases the ludicrousness of it to me is the fact that such capers are never accompanied by a smile. Who does not believe that their step is less elastic, their movement more awkward, for their long domesticity? HDT WHAT? INDEX
