Notes

1. This post card is endorsed: "Answ'd Feb 24/83." It is addressed: Wm D O'Connor | Life Saving Service | Treasury | Washington | D C. It is postmarked: Philadelphia | Pa. | Feb 23 83 | 6 30 PM; Washington, Recd. | Feb | 24 | 4 30 AM | 1883 | 2. The date of this post card, obviously sent later than the preceding one, is established by O'Connor's endorsement, the postmark, and the reference to O'Connor's manuscript. In his reprint of The Good Gray Poet Richard Maurice Bucke included a reference to Richard Henry Stoddard's review of the pamphlet in The Round Table on January 20, 1866, and printed a letter written to the magazine by Charles Lanman and O'Connor's reply (130–132).
