This manuscript contains lines of an unpublished poem comparing the power of the
voice of the poet and the common man to the "Exclusive." Whitman challenges future
generations to follow his lead in representing those who remain unheard and to
"respond to whatever needs response" at that time. The verso of the second leaf is
an ordered list of poems beginning with "33 A Handful of Air" and ending with "72
Leaf."
