| Abstract | A transcription of Emily Dickinson's poem "So well that I can live without." The transcript is written on an envelope scrap. The transcription is part of the collection of transcriptions of Dickinson's poems produced by Mabel Loomis Todd for publication in a volume edited by her. Most transcriptions are in Todd’s own hand; some are typed, and some were transcribed by other individuals. Editor's marks and notations are written on the transcript. A pencil line follows "So well that I can live without" in the middle of the envelope. Below the penciled line a stanza beginning "Auto da fe + judgment" along with a penciled note near the line and stanza states "'It makes no difference' Vol I." On the reverse side of the envelope scrap is a stanza which begins "How excellent the heaven" and is followed by a pencilled note that states "2nd stanza of 'It was too late for man' vol. I." |
| Notes | The item is undated. The date range is based on the year Emily Dickinson died and the year the final volume of Dickinson's poems and letters that Mabel Loomis Todd edited was published. |
