A manuscript scrap related to Whitman's undelivered lecture "The Tramp and Strike Question," which was written in 1879 but not published until it was included in
Specimen Days
in 1882. Although this scrap contains thoughts and ideas similar to those found in the essay, these lines do not appear to have made it into the final version of the piece. An image of the verso is unavailable.
