Content: Edward Grier writes of this manuscript that "[t]he sentiments and the handwriting are those of 1855 or earlier" ( Notebooks and Unpublished Prose Manuscripts [New York: New York University Press, 1984], 1:186). Some of the language is similar to wording in the poems that would be titled "Song of Myself" and "A Song for Occupations." At some point, this manuscript formed part of Whitman's cultural geography scrapbook (owu.00090).
