Among the Whitman manuscripts owned by Mr. C. Waller Barrett of New York City are a number of miscellaneous unpublished letters relating to Whitman's publishing affairs. None of them individually is of startling significance, but together they shed some light on the circle of friends around Whitman and on his relations with his editors. I am indebted to Mr. Barrett for permission to publish them here.
