WWA IDs of two pieces of correspondence changed

Two pieces of correspondence, Walt Whitman to Walbridge A. Field, 11 May 1870 and Walt Whitman to Amos Tappan Akerman, 9 January 1871, were inadvertently given the same Whitman Archive ID as two scribal documents. Walt Whitman to Walbridge A. Field, 11 May 1870, formerly nar.00004, has the new Whitman Archive ID nar.03604, and Walt Whitman to Amos Tappan Akerman, 9 January 1871, formerly nar.00005, has the new Whitman Archive ID nar.03605. All scribal documents are now recorded in the project database, which enforces unique IDs, so there should be no further instances of this problem with regard to items at the National Archives. I have updated the relevant published files, including nar.03604, nar.03605, and the correspondence Index page, http://whitmanarchive.org/biography/correspondence/index.html
