In these prose notes, Whitman reflects on the impact of the Civil War on
the nation. Written at the top of the page, in an unknown hand, possibly that of Horace Traubel, "see
notes Mar 18 1891." This manuscript contributed to "American's Bulk Average," which first
appeared in

(1891) before being collected in

(1892).
