Corrections, updates to correspondence

Our annotations about Abby H. Price in a series of letters neglected to list one of her children, Henry, who died in 1852 at age 2.  We have added this information to those annotations, affecting the following letters: 

Louisa Van Velsor Whitman to Walt Whitman, 17 January [1867]
Louisa Van Velsor Whitman to Walt Whitman, 28 March [1867]
Louisa Van Velsor Whitman to Walt Whitman, 6 [March 1868]

Louisa Van Velsor Whitman to Walt Whitman, [23 October 1871]
Walt Whitman to Louisa Van Velsor Whitman, [13]–14 [February 1873]

We have also updated the images and corrected the transcriptions for the following letters: 

Ellen M. O'Connor to Walt Whitman, 10 November 1863
Ellen M. O'Connor to Walt Whitman, 24 November 1863
Ellen M. O'Connor to Walt Whitman, 30 November 1864

We have also corrected a footnote in the letter from Walt Whitman to Andrew Kerr, 29 October 1865, to reflect the fact that the “elections of November 7” referred to in the note were actually in 1865, not 1866. 

Thanks to Caterina for help in correcting the annotations.
