V.
(White paper, 8" x 5", one page).

Editor Commercial.
Dear Sir:

Wouldn't these articles be available for the paper. The price is $60 for the two. Of course they are hitherto unpublished—(my book, in which they go, will not be out for at least three or four weeks.)

Walt Whitman.

There are so many Commercials that it is impossible to identify this one positively. Possibly it was the Commercial Advertiser, which had published some of Whitman's poetry as early as 1871. "These articles" were possibly some of the prose writings which appeared in Two Rivulets that year.
