1891. Dr. William Reeder, Philadelphia. Not in Saunders. Courtesy Library of Congress. Taken, as was above photo, in Whitman's upstairs bedroom. Here the legendary chaos of papers that surrounded Whitman in his last years is visible; he likened the mass to a sea, resisted efforts of his housekeeper and friends to sort it out, and claimed that whatever he needed surfaced eventually. |
