correction to title of Italian translation of "Poets to Come" by Marina Camboni

A letter (the "i" of "Poeti") was missing from the Italian title, so I have added it.

Small corrections to two Leaves of Grass files

I have supplied a missing "I" in the penultimate paragraph of the 1855 Preface and changed "string-term" to "string-team" in the 1856 edition's "Poem of The Daily Work of The Workmen and Workwomen of These States" ("A Song for Occupations").

Author and place of publication supplied for a review of Two Rivulets

Based on an annotation by Whitman located in the Harned collection of the Library of Congress, we can now attribute an unsigned review of Two Rivulets to Robert Dudley Adams. This review was published in The Evening News. I've now included the place of publication of this newspaper: Sidney (New South Wales, Australia). My thanks to Nikki for help in getting these changes made.

Correction to correspondence note

I have corrected the second footnote associated with a letter from Walt Whitman to Louisa Orr Whitman, 11 October [1879].  The link in the footnote previously pointed to the wrong letter, and the information about Hannah Heyde misrepresented her letter to her brother.
