Content:
In this manuscript Whitman mentions a plan to write a "piece strongly
recognizing the affiliations" of his poems. In a centered column,
there are three possible titles for such a piece, and one of them is "By
the road-sides," which is resonant with the title Whitman would give to
the cluster "By the Roadside" first in
the 1881-1882 edition and then in the 1891-1892edition of
Leaves of
Grass
