Manuscripts
An autograph notebook kept by Walt Whitman during his services as an army nurse in the Civil War from 1862 to 1865. The notebook is bound with fabric tape with a cover of yellow paper; the cover is inscribed: "Hospital Note Book. Walt Whitman." The majority of the notebook is written in pencil with a few pages in ink; the entries are written in two directions with the text beginning at one cover then turned over and beginning again. With the notebook is a blue morocco leather embossed slipcase; also enclosed, an original paper envelope, printed with "The Arlington, Washington, D.C."
