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."
