Corrections to Walt Whitman in Camden, Volume 2

Ed Folsom pointed out several errors in our transcription and display
of With Walt Whitman in Camden, volume 2:
http://whitmanarchive.org/criticism/disciples/traubel/WWWiC/2/whole.html

*On page 67, we had an empty (and unnecessary) <hi> tag that was
causing the rest of the text to be presented in italics in the HTML
view. I have removed this empty <hi> tag.
*There were two transcription errors on page 142. "gags at my
'catalogues.' Oh God! how tired I get of hearing that said about the
'catalogues!'" erroneously "gasps" instead of "gags" and "bout"
instead of "about."

Correction to "Song of the Universal" in 1881 Leaves

Ken noticed that the section number headings did not appear in our transcription of this poem. I've added them.

Two corrections

In the 1860 edition of Leaves of Grass, I corrected type in line three of "With Antecedents" to read "would not now be here" instead of "would not now be hero."

In the 1881-82 edition, in the line, "In each house is the ovum, it comes forth after a thousand years," I inserted a space between "comes" and "forth" (previously read "comesforth").

Both errors were pointed out by Archive users, Mario Corona and Robin Seguy, respectively.

Typo correction in deathbed edition of Leaves of Grass

I happened to notice that two words were run together in our transcription of section #33 of "Song of Myself." What was "beaver patsthe mud" is now "beaver pats the mud."

The site tour that Eric Conrad put together has been published in the "About" section. I've also added a link from the Archive's homepage.

correspondence TEI updated

I have updated the TEI files for approximately 300 pieces of
Reconstruction correspondence. No changes should be apparent on the
live site. The changes to the encoding of the files is in preparation
for publishing annotations for the Reconstruction letters.

New scribal documents posted

Earlier today, I posted 125 additional scribal documents, bringing the
total number of scribal documents available to nearly 400. As part of
this update, I also revised language on the scribal documents index
page to reflect (changing "nearly 2,000" to "nearly 2,400").
