Material Description and Collation

The manuscript is a black-lined graph paper card. The manuscript is all in Beach’s hand in lead pencil.


Measurements

The manuscript measures 11.8 x 7.9 cm.


Contents

The manuscript is an extradraft sheet that probably contains Beach’s note in lead pencil of Joyce’s instructions to make a corresponding emendation on her copy of the typescript for the printer of This Quarter. See This Quarter 121.09–10 as well as FW 190.29–30.


JJA Draft Code

JJA I.7§1.5’+.


Dating

Beach probably noted this emendation in July 1925.


Other Markings

Beach also wrote "Morley’s Lge SW" on the recto above the instructions in lead pencil, possibly before the emendation was noted below. There is a notation on the verso that reads "H. Hauser | Ouviers du temps passé" in an unidentified hand (possible Myrsine Moschos’s) in blue ink.


Notes

The emendation was also made on the extant typescript (BL 47474, f. 55; JJA 47.466) in Joyce’s hand and was incorporated in the published text of This Quarter (the proofs of which are missing).
