Richard Maurice Bucke, one of Whitman's literary executors, first printed this manuscript in
Notes and Fragments
(London, Ontario: A. Talbot & Co., 1899). There, Bucke notes that this manuscript likely dates from the "40's or early '50's" (116). It is possibly a draft of an early piece of fiction, but no connection to Whitman's known published works has been established.
