Notes:

1. This postcard bears the address, "Pete Doyle, | M st. South—bet 4½ & 6th | Washington, D.C." It is postmarked: "Camden | May | 7 | N.J.; Carrier | 8 | May | 8 AM."

The correspondence (again chiefly postcards) with Doyle in April and May was sent on Fridays, according to Whitman's habit. At this time Doyle was working out of Baltimore; note Whitman's April 30, and June 25, 1875 letters to Doyle. [back]
