Identified probable Burroughs note on correspondence

After review and comparison with other letters, we have identified John Burroughs as the probable writer of a note (a quote by Hartley Coleridge) on an envelope that accompanied the letter from Walt Whitman to John Burroughs of February 9, 1883.  We had previously listed the writer of this note as unknown. We have updated the information in a footnote:

Thanks to Nicola Healey for drawing our attention to this note.

Typo in the 1855 Leaves Corrected

Bojana Acamovic noticed an error in our transcription of the final paragraph of the preface to the 1855 Leaves of Grass, and I have corrected it.

EAD "Literary Manuscripts" material added

Liz and I have moved all of the new EAD material over to the live site. This included updates to the "Resources" index page, the "Finding Aids" index page (which we now refer to as the "Manuscript Catalogs" index page), all of the individual EAD files, and the Integrated Guide (now called the "Integrated Catalog"). We also changed the link on the home page so that it reads "Manuscript catalogs" instead of "Finding aids."
