Content: The recto of this item contains a draft of portion of "'Tis But Ten Years Since (Third Paper)," one of six pieces about the Civil War that Whitman published in the New York Weekly Graphic in January and February, 1874. In 1875, these pieces were gathered and republished as Memoranda During the War . The portion of the article that Whitman was drafting here is a short note that appeared at the end of the third installment, informing readers that even though these articles were written as a series, "each paper is, for the casual reader's purposes, complete in itself." This text was not found in any of the other articles and was not included in Memoranda During the War . The third installment appeared on 14 February 1874. The manuscript on the verso did not contribute to any known published piece.
