This scrap is a draft of Whitman's essay "Five
Thousand Poems," first published in

Democratic Vistas and
Other Papers
(London, 1888), and
November Boughs
(1888). The
language on this leaf appears nearly verbatim in "Five Thousand Poems." On the verso is a partial letter to Whitman from the office of
