  • Content: This manuscript contains preparatory material for Memoranda During the War , published in 1875-1876. (Although the note does not appear verbatim in Memoranda , the fact that Whitman titles the manuscript "for war memoranda note," using a different pen, clearly indicates that he thought of using the note for the book.) On the verso is a draft of the section titled "An Afternoon Scene" published in Specimen Days & Collect , see the entry for loc.06100.
