Change to nar.00779 Scribal Document

Scribal document nar.00779 is a transcription of a cover letter and enclosed contract between the U.S. Government and the Union Pacific Rail Road Company. When nar.00779 was originally transcribed, only the cover letter was included in the transcription. As I was finishing up transcriptions of scribal documents, I noticed that the contract was not transcribed along with the cover letter, and so I transcribed and encoded it, changed the @facs, and made sure the images were in the directory.

changes to two correspondence files

The footnotes for two pieces of correspondence, nar.03604 and
nar.03605 were showing up inline rather than at the end of the
document. I have fixed the encoding, which was causing this problem.
The letters are available at:

change made to Texas EAD

I have updated the Texas EAD to indicate that the letter on the verso
of tex.00045 is not in Whitman's hand, which we previously indicated
that it was.

Correction to Ellen M. O'Connor letter to Whitman, 21 November 1863

I noticed a typo ("Now" for "No") while consulting this letter, so I've corrected it.

Correction to transcription, Fred Vaughan to Walt Whitman, 27 March 1860

Ed Folsom pointed out a transcription error in the letter from Fred
Vaughan to Walt Whitman, 27 March 1860
(http://whitmanarchive.org/biography/correspondence/cw/tei/loc.00569.html).
The phrase "It appeared to me to be strained" had been incorrectly
transcribed as "I appeared to me to be strained." I have fixed this
mistake.

The sentence which begins, "Whether, when the bond in given by the State" has been changed to "Whether, when the bond is given by the State."

Stand alone page added for audio recordings

I have created a stand alone page for the audio recording of "America." Previously, the audio link on the homepage directed users to the index page for all multimedia materials (http://whitmanarchive.org/multimedia/index.html). The Audio link on the homepage now takes users to a page dedicated to audio recordings. The url for the new audio page is as follows: http://whitmanarchive.org/multimedia/audio.html. The Pictures & Sound link remains the same, and takes users to the index page for both images and audio recordings. The Portraits of Whitman link still directs users to the image gallery.
