Complete Prose Works (1892): corrected footnote

We have corrected the transcription of the footnote that runs in the bottom margin of pages 204-205 of Whitman's Complete Prose Works (1892) so that it appears in a pop-up page: http://www.whitmanarchive.org/published/other/ppp.00504.html?noteNumber=n19. Thanks to Carlos Elisio Nascimento da Silva for suggesting this correction.

Middle initial changed in Whitman letter

In our title to Whitman's March 29, 1860 letter to Abby Price, Price's middle initial was identified as "M." However, her middle initial is actually "H." The title of the letter has been revised to reflect this information.
