Correction to date metadata in per.00060

I have corrected the value of the date metadata in the TEI header for
per.00060, http://www.whitmanarchive.org/published/periodical/poems/per.00060,
which was being used to populate the data in the "Date" field. The
machine-readable version of the date was incorrect, leading
http://www.whitmanarchive.org/published/periodical/poems/per.00060 to
indicate in one place that the poem was published in 1885 and in
another place that it was published in 1841. The correct date for the
poem's appearance in the New World is November 20, 1841.

Thanks to Matt Cohen for pointing out this error.
