Content:
Leaf made from two scraps glued together. The bottom scrap contains notes toward "Song of the Broad-Axe," which was first published in
Leaves of Grass
1856 as "Broad-Axe Poem." The writing on the top scrap, which describes one of Whitman's acquaintances, might have informed the description of the "headsman" in that poem.
