Content:
Two copies of the November, 1889 issue of
The Century Magazine,
(one full, one
partial) which included Whitman's poem "My 71st Year." There are a few small notes,
probably not in Whitman's hand, which read "Nov 1889" and "Mark Twain" (Twain's
"A Connecticut Yankee
in King Arthur's Court" is also serialized in this
issue). Currently, images of only three pages of one of the copies are available (cover, table of contents, and the page on which "My 71st Year" is printed).
