On one leaf of white wove paper (14.5 x 9 cm), in brown-black ink, with revisions
in the same ink. Pinholes mostly at the top, with a few lower down. The tenth
section of the original sequence "Live Oak, with Moss" (with ornamental Roman numeral), this was
reformatted and renumbered but otherwise left unrevised as section 43 of "Calamus" in 1860. In 1867 Whitman
permanently retitled it "O You Whom I
Often and Silently Come."
