Notes intended for a prefatory passage that bear a loose resemblance to ideas and themes presented in "A Happy Hour's Command,"
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882–1883), which later appeared in
Complete Prose Works
(1892). A comment at the top of the page indicates that Whitman considered using these lines in a footnote at the beginning of
Specimen Days
. Whitman made a similar notation on "I have jotted down these memoranda" (described above), portions of which were used as a footnote to "New Themes Entered Upon."
