About this Item
One page, in ink, hastily scrawled on recto of 10 x 18cm slightly irregularly trimmed oblong slip of orange-yellow paper. Three old vertical folds, strip of residue from former mat tape along extreme top edge verso, otherwise very good. Whitman writes "Dear M.P.," forwarding manuscripts of poems [not present] for consideration for publication: ".This is the best I can do for yr request -- The pieces have not hitherto been publish'd [insertion: 'at all'] but are to be [insertion: 'finally'] included in the [insertion: 'vol. to come'] little & out (such 'out' as it may be probably small one) in ab't three weeks or longer -- If Mr R can publish them before it will do & the proprieties conformed to - the price is $10." Below the body of the letter, the following appears in underlined bold in Whitman's hand: "New Poetry by Walt Whitman." Attempts to call up this letter in the database of the online Whitman Archive using several search criteria have been unproductive. Accompanied by a gravure reproduction of one of the Sarony portrait photos of Whitman, with which it was formerly framed. Seller Inventory # WRCLIT82753
