These fragmentary notes were probably written as Whitman drafted the preface for the publication in 1876 of
Leaves of Grass
and
Two Rivulets
as a two-volume set. The preface was reprinted in
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882–83) under the title "Preface, 1876, to L. of G. and 'Two Rivulets,' Centennial Edition." The notes on the reverse side, tex.00098, are probably related to the essay "Emerson's Books, (The Shadows of Them.)"
