Content:
A manuscript fragment that, on the recto, contains lines similar to those found in the opening paragraph of
Memoranda During the War
(1875), and may have been an alternate or earlier version of that introduction. The paragraph first appeared in a slightly different form in the New York
Weekly Graphic
on 24 January 1874, part of a five-part series about the war that Whitman published in that paper. The verso contains lines which appear in the final paragraph of Whitman's introduction to
Memoranda
, and were likely written later than the lines on the recto.
