Content:
Five scraps of paper containing prose notes. One scrap is dated January 12, 1881. On another scrap, "in preface? to my Notes" is written along the top of the page. Together these five scraps of paper comprise a nearly complete draft of "New Themes Entered Upon,"
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882–1883). This piece of prose first appeared in the 29 January 1881 issue of
The Critic
, under the title "How I Get Around at 60, and Take Notes. (No. 1)" before it was published in
Specimen Days
and finally collected in
Complete Prose Works
(1892). Some lines in this manuscript can also be found in "[I just spin out my notes]," another prose manuscript held in the Livezey collection.
