National State Bank of Camden check, 6.25 x 2.5, boldly filled out and signed by Whitman, "Walt Whitman," made payable for $70, April 1, 1876. Matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 10 x 10.5. In very good to fine condition, with a minor brush to the signature, and light dampstaining to the left side.
After suffering a paralytic stroke in early 1873, Whitman was induced to move from Washington to the home of his brother—George Washington Whitman, an engineer—at 431 Stevens Street in Camden, New Jersey, where he resided for 11 years (1873-1884). During this period he published several of his collections of prose and poetry, which included three editions of Leaves of Grass (1876, 1881-1882, and 1882), Memoranda During the War (1875), Two Rivulets (1878), and Specimen Days and Collect (1882-1883).
