I was quickly looking at the archives, specially Whitman’s letters, and I found this letter he wrote to Ralph Waldo Emerson during the Civil War. I just think it connects so well with what we were discussing in class the past couple days in regards to Whitman and war that I had to share. The highlighted bit is something that stuck out to me: his connection to America and the soldiers. This letter definitely shows his “spiritual wound dresser” character ! (also notice the word electric again…)
