Notes

  • 1. Whitman pasted this letter together with a piece of another letter, and on the back wrote part of a prose draft titled "Poetry in America—Shakspere—the Future." What remains of this letter is not dated, but surrounding letters are dated 1880, so it is likely also from that year. [back]
