Simplicity and naturalness were his guidelines. \"I like my letters to be personal—very personal—and then stop.\" The six volumes in \u003cb\u003eThe Correspondence\u003c\/b\u003e comprise nearly 3,000 letters written over a half century, revealing Whitman the person as no other documents can.\u003cbr\u003e This supplement updates the \u003cb\u003eCorrespondence\u003c\/b\u003e with nearly 100 letters that appeared after the publication of the first five volumes. Featured in this volume is the earliest known extant letter from the poet, written in 1841, as well as many others documenting Whitman's personal relationships and publishing ventures, both in America and abroad. \u003cb\u003eVolume VI\u003c\/b\u003e also includes a detailed analysis of Whitman's income and finances over the last twenty-six years of his life.
