As we work on volumes in the Thoreau Edition we accumulate much more information than can be incorporated into the printed books. We create resources for ourselves that have no place in the volumes but that might be of interest to readers and scholars. Some of those resources are presented here, in addition to corrections and additions to the published volumes. Correspondence 1-3The spreadsheet Features of the Texts records data about the letters in Correspondence 1: 1834-1848 (Princeton University Press, 2013), Correspondence 2: 1849-1856 (Princeton University Press, 2018), and Correspondence 3: 1857-1862 (forthcoming) in The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau. "Features of the Texts" is a work in progress; from time to time it will be updated with new information. Images of manuscripts that have been made publicly available by the libraries that own them can be viewed by clicking on the letter number in the first column. Each of the three Princeton Edition volumes has its own sheet, as does the "Addendum." Letters on the "Addendum" sheet will appear at the end of Correspondence 3. The current version of the file was revised February 8, 2017. The spreadsheet Conjectured Letters lists letters from and to Thoreau which are known to have existed but are no longer extant. The reason for conjecturing a letter is given in each instance. The current version of the file was revised on September 24, 2015. As of June 2019, nine repositories have scanned and digitized some or all of their manuscripts of letters to and from Thoreau: the Abernethy Library at Middlebury College, the American Antiquarian Society, the Beinecke Library at Yale University, the Berg Collection at the New York Public Library, the Ella Strong Denison Library at Scripps College, the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, the Houghton Library at Harvard University, the Joel Myerson Collection of Nineteenth-Century American Manuscripts, Images, and Ephemera at the University of South Carolina, and the John Hay Library at Brown University. The 162 letters listed below represent a quarter of the 647 letters Thoreau is known to have written and received. Each letter is linked to its digital image; if the pages of a letter are part of a larger unit of manuscripts it will be linked to several images. Correspondence 1 and Correspondence 2 page numbers refer to the edited text of each letter in that volume and the annotations and apparatus that follow the text; each of these references is linked to an image of the published version of the letter. The list is updated as more digital images become available. 1837 9/7/37 from Richardson, J Jr (Correspondence 1, pp. 16-19) 10/13/37 to Vose, H (Correspondence 1, pp. 19-22) 10/27/37 to Thoreau, H (Correspondence 1, pp. 25-26) 11/11/37 to Thoreau, J Jr (Correspondence 1, pp. 27-30) 1838 7/8/1838 to Thoreau, J Jr (Correspondence 1, pp. 44-46) 10/6/38 to Thoreau, H (Correspondence 1, pp. 48-51) 1841 6/3/41 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 74-75) 6/7/41 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 75-76) 9/24/41 from Williams, I (Correspondence 1, pp. 82-87) 10/9/41 to Griswold, R (Correspondence 1, pp. 91-92) 10/18/41 from Fuller, M (Correspondence 1, pp. 93-97) 11/27/41 from Williams, I (Correspondence 1, pp. 97-101) 1842 3/11/42 to Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 104-106) 3/14/42 to Williams, I (Correspondence 1, pp. 106-110) 6/23/42 from Williams, I (Correspondence 1, pp. 111-114) 1843 2/9, 10, 11/43 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 129-134) 3/1/43 to Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 149-151) 4/11/1843 to Vose, H (Correspondence 1, pp. 155-157) 5/22/43 to Thoreau, S (Correspondence 1, pp. 170-173) 5/23/43 to Thoreau, H (Correspondence 1, pp. 176-178) 6/10, 15/43 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 191-195) 7/8/43 to Emerson, L & RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 201-206) 7/28/43 from O'Sullivan, JL (Correspondence 1, pp. 214-215) 8/7/43 to Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 221-223) 10/16/43 to Emerson, L (Correspondence 1, pp. 242-244) 10/17/43 to Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 244-249) 10/25/43 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 252-254) before 11/7/43 to McKean, HS (Correspondence 1, pp. 255-256) 1845 3/5/45 from Channing, WE (Correspondence 1, pp. 268-272) Fall 1845 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, p. 277) 1846 8/16/1846 from Greeley, H (Correspondence 1, pp. 279-281) 9/30/1846 from Greeley, H (Correspondence 1, pp. 281-282) Late 9/46 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 282-283) 1847 2/5/47 from Greeley, H (Correspondence 1, pp. 285-287) 2/15/47 to Storer, H (Correspondence 1, pp. 287-289) 12/2/47 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 324-327) 12/29/47 to Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 331-337) 1848 1/28/48 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 341-344) 2/23/48 to Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 344-350) 3/25/48 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 1, pp. 354-357) 3/27/48 to Blake, HGO (partial) (Correspondence 1, pp. 359-364) 8/24/48 to Thatcher, G (Correspondence 1, pp. 384-386) 10/21/48 from Hawthorne, N (Correspondence 1, pp. 386-387) 1849 2/16/49 to Thatcher, G (Correspondence 2, pp. 7-9) 4/17/49 to Blake, HGO (Correspondence 2, pp. 22-23) 6/30/1849 to Agassiz, L (Correspondence 2, pp. 23-25) 1850 2/6/50 from Emerson, RW (Correspondence 2, pp. 50-51) 5/1/50 from Dunbar CH, p. 1, upper half (Correspondence 2, pp. 57-58) 5/1/50 from Dunbar CH, p. 1, lower half 5/1/50 from Dunbar CH, p. 2, upper half 5/1/50 from Dunbar CH, p. 2, lower half 7/24/50 to Greeley, H (Correspondence 2, pp. 61-63) 7/29/50 to Sumner, C, p. 1 (Correspondence 2, pp. 75-76) 7/29/50 to Sumner, C, p. 2 7/31/50 from Sumner, C (Correspondence 2, pp. 76-77) 8/9/50 to Blake, HGO (Correspondence 2, pp. 77-80) 10/7/50 from Bailey, GA (Correspondence 2, pp. 80-82) 10/18/50 from Pierce, J (Correspondence 2, pp. 82-83) 11/14/50 from Forbes, F (Correspondence 2, pp. 83-84) 11/20/50 from Pierce, J (Correspondence 2, pp. 85-86) 12/3/50 from Higginson, TW (Correspondence 2, pp. 86-87) 1852 4/3/52 to Higginson, TW (Correspondence 2, p. 106) 5/26/52 from Greeley, H (Correspondence 2, pp. 109-110) 7/21/52 from Sweetser, W (Correspondence 2, pp. 121) 12/31/52 to Watson, BM (Correspondence 2, p. 138) 1853 2/27/53 to Blake, HGO (Correspondence 2, pp. 140-150) 11/22/53 to Underwood, F (Correspondence 2, pp. 178-180) 12/5/53 from Underwood, F (Correspondence 2, pp. 180-181) 1854 2/23/54 from Smith, T (Correspondence 2, pp. 196-197) 9/15/54 to Webb, SE (Correspondence 2, pp. 242) 9/21/54 to Blake, HGO (partial) (Correspondence 2, pp. 245-246) 10/14/54 to Blake, HGO, address leaf (Correspondence 2, pp. 258-259) before 10/19/1854?
