A Whitman Archive user, Byron Strom, noticed an error in our transcription of a January 8, 1862, letter from Silas S. Soule to Whitman. Our transcription of the letter's first sentence had previously read "Perhaps you have forgotten a wild farmer's scarecrow [illegible] man..." The transcription has been corrected to read "Perhaps you have forgotten a wild harum scarum yound man..." (with the word "young" misspelled). We thank Byron Strom for bringing the error to our attention and offering a correction.
