Content: A heavily revised draft of "A Happy Hour's Command," Specimen Days & Collect (1882–1883), which later appeared in Complete Prose Works (1892). The verso of this manuscript contains two cancelled lines: "In highest Noon I sing & Starry Night" and "with other Pieces & Specimen Days." Though "From Noon to Starry Night" is an 1881 cluster in Leaves of Grass , there is no other connection between this manuscript and Whitman's published work.
