15. Stoddard to James Whitcomb Riley, 17 December 1890 (Lilly Library, Indiana University).
16. Stoddard to Riley, 28 December 1890 (Lilly Library). According to William Lyon Phelps, Riley "never could see anything in the poetry of Walt Whitman. Without raising his voice, he would purl along, 'Old Walt found the stuffhe wrote wasn't worth a; so he mixed up a lot ofnonsense, and fooled the whole world.'" Phelps also notes that Riley habitually kept up "a stream of profanity in conversation," which seemed more "lyrical" than "vulgar,'' spoken as it was "in that soft, gentle voice."

23. South-Sea Idyls (New York: Scribner's, 1892). "The Last of a Great Navigator" (on Captain Cook) was dropped from this edition, but two other sketches were added: "A Tropical Sequence" and ''Kahéle's Foreordination." Stoddard had apparently also considered deleting "In a Transport"-an idea that Theodore Dwight protested: "I love every line of In a Transport & have always loved it." Dwight to Stoddard, 7 August 1892 (CSTO, University of Notre Dame Archives); quoted in Stroven, "A Life," p. 272.
