- 1. Whitman wrote this letter on
stationery printed with the following notice from the Boston
Evening Transcript: "From the Boston Eve'g
Transcript, May 7, '91.—The Epictetus saying, as given by Walt
Whitman in his own quite utterly dilapidated physical case is, a 'little spark
of soul dragging a great lummux of corpse-body clumsily to and fro
around.'" [back]
