{"value"=>"<p>This series, dating from 1869 to 2008, is made up of manuscripts and photographs created by Whitman's friends and associates. Mattson, who compiled the manuscripts, wrote notes about the manuscripts; the series retains his notes. The manuscripts include cards, envelopes, essays, and letters written by Horace Traubel, William Douglas O'Connor, Bliss Perry, and Elizabeth Porter Gould that largely discuss Whitman and his work. There are two envelopes signed by Whitman.</p> <p>The series also holds photographs that include portraits of Whitman at home in Camden, New Jersey, and in a studio. Of note are five signed Whitman portraits. The rest of the series features photographs of William Douglas O'Connor alone and with his niece, Grace Ellery Channing; a stereograph card of Whitman's birthplace; and two photographs of Gay Wilson Allen.</p>"}
