Updated repository name for letter

The location of the letter from Walt Whitman to John Hay dated March 10, 1887, was listed as unknown.  The letter is held at the John Hay Library, Brown University.  I have updated the metadata for the letter accordingly.

Corrections to Memoranda During the War

Ken pointed out that quotations in this text were set off with curly quote marks and that opening marks had been erroneously used at the ends of quotations. I have changed all curly quote marks to straight quote marks to accord with our general policy. Also, in the course of examining quotations I happened to notice that a word was missing from the transcription, and I have supplied it.

Date Correction for Periodical Publication of "The Mississippi at Midnight"

Matt Cohen noticed a discrepancy between the dates shown in the "Date" and "Publication Information" fields of the HTML display at http://whitmanarchive.org/published/periodical/poems/per.00063. I have corrected the TEI metadata so that both show the correct date (March 6, 1848).

The title page of volume 3 of With Walt Whitman in Camden had two date ranges, one correct and one apparently copied over from the transcription of volume 1. I've removed the latter.

Corrected typo in periodical poem

The transcription of "After All Not to Create Only" (published in the New York Evening Post on September 7, 1871) was missing a end parenthesis in the following line in the third stanza: "As she, the illustrious Emigré (having, it is true, in her day, although the same, changed, journey'd con-
siderable)."  I've now added it.
