Provincetown Harbor.

July 13.

About $33,000 has been appropriated for the protection of Provincetown Harbor. Northeast winds the strongest. 

Caught a box tortoise. It appeared to have been feeding on insects, - their wing-cases, etc., in its droppings, - also leaves. 

No undertow on the bars because the shore is flat.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, July 13, 1855

The week ahead in Henry’s journal
A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
