Content: Whitman's response to learning of George Whitman's imprisonment at Danville during the Civil War. This manuscript contains much of the same information about George and his status as a prisoner of war that Whitman published in "A Brooklyn Soldier, and A Noble One," which appeared in the 19 January 1865 issue of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle . Material in this manuscript also contributed to "The Fifty-first New-York Volunteers," published in the New-York Times , 24 January 1865 as well as portions of Memoranda During the War (1875–76).
