For some reason it causes me a bit of difficulty to understand the headline on first pass. Something seems to be off with the gramar. Why not just say "Walt Whitman's letter to wife of dying soldier" Easier to understand in my opinion.
- Polyphonie 11y agoRe-read the headline: > Walt Whitman's Letter For A Dying Soldier To His Wife Discovered Just make sure you separate the middle part- Letter For A Dying Soldier To His Wife- from the rest.
- gpvos 11y agoThat is actually the part with the problem. One problem for me is that when initially scanning the sentence, "for" implies that the letter is intended to be sent to the soldier; "on behalf of" would be clearer. Another minor unclarity is that "his" can refer to either the soldier or Walt Whitman.
