LL 62, prose part only. Torn at left. "Susan - " on verso. Pinholes, paste marks. About this document Johnson writes as if the prose part is clearly distinguishable from the poetry, and his transcription is a perfect example of how he imposes print conventions and erases Dickinson's blending of genres to create a new form.
