http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647805085

The collection contains two poems: "Written after viewing the paintings of the temptation and expulsion by De Boeuf" and an untitled one beginning "When first I looked into thy glorious eyes". In a letter, 1872 September 25, to Mrs. Botta, Whitman sends seeds, thanks her for some photographs and notes, mentions an error in Richard Henry Stoddard's September 1872 Harper's article on Poe and that she has sent him some of Poe's letters to her and mentions also [Charles Chauncey?] Greene and his paintings "The earl king" and "Esperanza". In an undated letter to Mrs. Allen she discusses the latter's autograph collection and offers to contribute to it.
