Content:
Three manuscript leaves and two newspaper clippings pasted to a larger
backing sheet. All but one of the scraps presents an aphorism
attributable to someone other than Whitman. The other, also aphoristic,
is fragmentary but appears to be a draft line of verse. According to
Edward F. Grier, the handwriting in the first and third paragraphs is
that of the 1850s or 1860s; that of the second one seems to be the
looser, more irregular writing of the 1870s.
