Content:
A two-line draft written on the back of an envelope from F. Gutekunst's
Imperial Photograph Galleries, with a note by Whitman on front that
reads "head and bust WW, taken 1889, fairly good." "[A flash of love]"
would later appear in a revised form in "A Twilight Song," first published in 1890.
