Various scraps of paper, including an envelope addressed to Whitman from Richard Maurice Bucke, which have been pasted together to create one large leaf. These scraps comprise a nearly complete, though not unrevised, draft of "A Night Remembrance," first published in
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882–1883) and collected in
Complete Prose Works
(1892). On the verso of this manuscript is what appears to be a scrap of a letter.
