Content: Partial draft of the essay published as "Some Personal and Old-Age Memoranda" in the March 1891 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. The leaf is made from a proof copy of "Autobiographic Note. From an old 'remembrance copy,'" which had appeared in Horace Traubel's 1889 volume Camden's Compliment to Walt Whitman, to which is pasted an envelope addressed in the hand of Richard Maurice Bucke to Whitman. The essay was reprinted as "Some Personal and Old-Age Jottings" in the February 28, 1891 issue of The Critic, in Good-Bye My Fanc y (1891), and in Complete Prose Works (1892).
