Correction to display affecting journalism

The stylesheet was causing an irregular display for footnotes that
appeared within postscripts to correspondence (e.g.,
http://www.whitmanarchive.org/published/periodical/journalism/tei/per.00210.html),
such that the text of the footnotes appeared both in the postscript
and in the footnotes section. I have fixed the problem so that the
footnote anchor appears in the postscript and the text of the footnote
itself appears in the appropriate footnotes section.

On the advice of Jordon Steele, Hodson Curator of the University Archives at Johns Hopkins University, I have changed the name of the collection of the two items listed in their EAD from "MS. 7" to "MS. 1."

Completed transcription for Civil War letter

We previously offered only a partial transcription for a letter from Walt Whitman to John T. Trowbridge dated 31 August 1865.  We have now completed the transcription, based on a full transcription in volume 7 of The Correspondence (ed. Ted Genoways).
