Content:
About seven lines, with revisions, toward the poem "To the Year 1889."
The writing on the verso (not in Whitman's hand) makes reference to
the title of this poem, as well as to
Good-Bye My Fancy
and a "Putnam 1902
Edition." "To the Year
1889" was first published on January 5, 1889, in the
Critic
. The
poem was retitled "To the Pending Year" for its inclusion in
Good-Bye My Fancy
(1891)
