A draft fragment of Whitman's "Preface, 1876, to the two-volume Centennial Edition of L. of G. and 'Two Rivulets,'" originally published in
Two Rivulets
(1876). Whitman included this preface in his
Complete Prose Works
(1892). This manuscript draft is comprised of three scraps of paper pasted together to make one leaf. On the verso of one of these scraps is a note Whitman made regarding his deteriorating health, which bears no discernible connection to Whitman's published works. This manuscript is catalogued with an envelope addressed to Herbert Gilchrist, postmarked 28 January 189[1].
