Ed Folsom pointed out a transcription error in "Letter from
Washington," which I have fixed. In the phrase "which has long
surmounted the dome," "dome" previously (and erroneously) read "done."

two typographical errors corrected
I have corrected the typographical error "receieved" in two documents:
Volume 7, of Horace Traubel's With Walt Whitman in Camden, where the
text (now) reads, " Hereupon showed W. the following note from Baker
(received early evening)"
[http://whitmanarchive.org/criticism/disciples/traubel/WWWiC/7/whole.html]
and in
Henry Stanbery to Ellen A. Brodnax, 13 December 1867
[http://www.whitmanarchive.org/manuscripts/scribal/tei/nar.00354.html],
where the incorrect spelling "receieved" appeared in the opening line
of the letter.
Both instances of this error were identified by Ed Folsom.

Correction in periodical printing of "Bardic Symbols"
I have supplied a space that Tim Jackson pointed out was missing in section 16 ("you,or").

Corrections in LG 1891-92
Tim Jackson pointed out that on p. 436 of our transcription of "A Backward Glance o'er Traveled Roads" a closing parenthesis had been substituted for a comma after the word "confession." This has been fixed. I also added a horizontal bar to separate the footnote from the body of the text on the same page.

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."

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.
