Abstract
Drawing on a previously unrecorded letter by a Brooklyn carpenter, William C. Booth, which describes his assessment of Walter and Walt Whitman, his business and personal relationships with both, and willingness to disclose more about Walt in person, this essay excavates the contexts and contents of this letter, its writer and recipient, and its contributions to the biographies of Walter and Walt Whitman. It connects the Whitman family to the Booths, prominent Brooklyn homebuilders who employed Walter when the Whitman family returned from Long Island. It also highlights the previously undocumented friendship between William Booth and Walt Whitman prior to the publication of Leaves of Grass.
布鲁克林木匠威廉·c·布斯(William C. Booth)写了一封以前没有记录的信，信中描述了他对沃尔特和沃尔特·惠特曼的评价，他与两人的商业和个人关系，以及他愿意亲自透露更多关于沃尔特的信息。本文利用这封信的背景和内容，它的作者和收件人，以及它对沃尔特和沃尔特·惠特曼传记的贡献。它将惠特曼家族与布斯家族联系在一起，布斯家族是布鲁克林著名的住宅建筑商，惠特曼家族从长岛回来后，布斯家族雇佣了沃尔特。它还突出了在《草叶集》出版之前，威廉·布斯和沃尔特·惠特曼之间未被记载的友谊。
