To support the final phase of work on an edition of the Civil War letters of George Washington Whitman, a younger brother of Walt Whitman; that is, completing the index and comparing the galley proofs of the text with the actual manuscript. Since the Civil War had an important impact of the life and post-war writings of Walt Whitman, an annotated record of his own brother's war experiences and personal reactions is relevant to Whitman scholarship.
