Camden Monday evn'g April 21

Think of coming over to-morrow Tuesday (say by 1½ o'clock)—to stay perhaps till Thursday afternoon—

1. April 2 was on Monday in 1877. Walt Whitman did not record this visit in The Commonplace Book (Charles E. Feinberg Collection of the Papers of Walt Whitman, 1839–1919, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.). [back]
