Content:
This manuscript fragment was originally part of a larger leaf which
comprised two other fragments as well: tex.00308 and tex.00297. Before
the sheet was cut into three pieces, this fragment formed the lower
part. The writing it contains is related to a section headed "Fifty Army Hospitals
Here—1863—Spring," a section of the article
"'Tis But Ten Years Since. (Fourth
Paper.)," published in the
New York
Weekly Graphic
on February 21, 1874.
Further revised, it was later published in
Memoranda during the War
(1875–76) as "Hospital
Perplexity." This was reprinted in
Two
Rivulets
(1876),
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882–83), and
Complete Prose
Works
(1892).
