Content:
A manuscript copy, with printer's instructions, of the first in a series of six articles that Whitman wrote for the
Critic
between January 1881 and July 1882, entitled "How I Get Around at 60, and Take Notes" (except for the sixth number, which was entitled "How I Still Get Around at 60, and Take Notes"). The article to which this manuscript contributed was published on January 29, 1881. A portion of the material for the article came from "Winter Sunshine," which Whitman had published in the
Philadelphia Times
a year earlier. The article was later broken up and reprinted in various places throughout
Specimen Days
(1882).
