… Volunteer finds letter written for dying soldier by Walt Whitman | Books | The Guardian. (Hat tip, Rus Bowden.)

This is connected “in some ways with Whitman’s poetic work”, said Price. He pointed to an unpublished draft manuscript from before the war, in which the poet wrote: “It is you talking / I am your voice / It was tied in you / In me it begins to be loosened / talk / I celebrate myself to celebrate you every man and woman alive / I transpose my my spirit.”
