The recto verses appearing on this manuscript became the main section 9 of "Enfans d'Adam" in 1860 and
were retitled "Once I Pass'd Through
a Populous City" in 1867. On the verso appear two fragments: an
undeleted verse that would be used in Satan's section of "Chanting the Square Deific" in
"Sequel to Drum-Taps"
(1865-66); and what would become section 23 of "Proto-Leaf", which becomes "Starting from Paumanok" in 1867.
The undeleted verse is upside-down relative to the deleted section.
