Content:
A small scrap of paper containing Whitman's notes on the night sky, "the heavens unusually transparent." Though Whitman dates this note "night of Oct 11," the description which appeared in "The Sky—Days and Nights—Happiness,"
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882–1883) is dated "Night of Oct. 28." "The Sky—Days and Nights—Happiness" was later published in
Complete Prose Works
(1892).
