Typos corrected in 1867 Leaves of Grass and Sylvester Baxter reminiscence

Transcription errors in the 1867 Leaves of Grass poem "We Two--How Long We were Fool'd" and in "Walt Whitman in Boston" have been corrected. We thank Kelly E. Miller, Ph.D., for drawing our attention to the typo in the poem.

New interview added

Rob Marland kindly alerted me to the existence of a heretofore uncollected Whitman interview in the Buffalo Express on 25 May 1890. I have finished transcribing, encoding, and proofreading, so I am publishing it to the interviews and reminiscences section.

Transcription errors corrected in Complete Prose and "Reminiscences of Walt Whitman"

In reading some of Whitman's comments regarding opera, I noticed two transcription errors in Complete Prose Works (pp. 294 and 294) and one in the John Townsend Trowbridge reminiscence in the interviews section. They are now corrected.

Correction to Interview of 3 March 1880

Ken pointed out that Whitman's annotation of this interview at the Library of Congress has the author as "Pennypacker" rather than "Pennybacker," as Giantvalley and White have it. Some research confirmed Whitman's spelling, so I've changed the attribution.

Original of Thomas Proctor Reminiscence Added

I've replaced the contents of med.00627 in the Interviews and Reminiscences section. Until now, this had transcribed the short excerpt printed in the Brooklyn Eagle of 2 April 1898; it now transcribes the original, 11-page reminiscence from The Journal of Hygiene and Herald of Health (February 1898).

Six new Interviews Added

I've published the following in the "Interviews and Reminiscences" section: med.00677, med.00689, med.00734, med.00793, med.00794, and med.00798.
