Content: Handwritten notes and corrections on a printed copy of the poem "O Captain! My Captain!" Although the poem was first published in the Saturday Press on November 4, 1865 and later included in Sequel to Drum-Taps (1865-66), the corrections on this particular copy were made in early 1888, when the poem was reprinted in the Riverside Literature Series , Number 32 (January 1888). On the verso is a note from Whitman to the publishers of the Riverside Literature Series concerning corrections to be made to their printed version of the poem.
