Content:
Fair copy draft of the poem "Interpolation Sounds". This poem first appeared without a
title in the New York
Herald
four days after Whitman's short prose tribute to
General Philip K. Sheridan, a Union general during the Civil War. It was
reprinted in "Good-Bye My
Fancy" in 1891, with the additional note: "General
Sheridan was buried at the Cathedral, Washington, D.C. August, 1888,
with all the pomp, music and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic
service."
