Excerpt from A Bit of Unpublished Correspondence: Between Henry D. Thoreau and Isaac T. Hecker Ernest the Seeker, and new, with his eager but some what irresolute hand in the strong grasp of Crestes Brown son, the youth was being half-led, half-impelled from within, toward the Catholic Church. He had recently been for some months a ledger in the house of Thoreau's mother at Concord, while taking lessons in Latin and Greek of George Bradford, whose rare worth as a teacher he had Learned at Brook Farm. That was how his acquaintance with Thoreau cam about. His studies, however, alwaysfitful and against the grain, had suddenly come to an end, smothered as it were or at least displaced by one of those high tides of inward unrest which visited him at intervals throughout his life. He had gone home to New York and prepared himself for baptism into the Church which appears to have been his destiny quite as much as his choice, when the notion came to him of the adventurous trip to Europe proposed to Thoreau on the spur of the moment in these letters.
