Content:
A heavily revised draft fragment of "A Sun-Bath—Nakedness." Much of this manuscript was first published in the 9 April 1881 issue of
The Critic
under the title "How I Get Around at Sixty and Take Notes. (No. 2)." Revised portions of this draft were used as the first paragraph of the section titled "Convalescent Hours." Whitman further revised these notes before publishing them in
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882–1883) as "A Sun-Bath—Nakedness," which eventually appeared in
Complete Prose Works
(1892). On the verso of this manuscript is a letter fragment from George G. Clapp to Whitman.
