A draft of the poem eventually titled "Thick-Sprinkled Bunting," first published in
Drum-Taps
in 1865 as "Flag of stars, thick-sprinkled bunting." On the
reverse is an undated letter draft to an unknown editor regarding Whitman's
ambition to "start a public demand for the general exchange of prisoners of
war."
