Content:
A draft of the first of three sections of "Three Young Men's Deaths," a piece that first appeared in April 1879 in
Cope's Tobacco Plant
of Liverpool, England. The piece would later be republished in
Specimen Days
and
Complete Prose Works
. The bracketed portion at the top of the manuscript was included in the original publication, and in a slightly altered form in subsequent publications. Whitman claims to be copying the text directly from a letter he sent to his mother on
28 July 1863
.
