Other Markings

There is a note in ink on verso of p. 31 in Maria Jolas’s hand that reads: "Ces 31 pages sont l’unique duplicats [sic] des corrections faites par Joyce lui-meme, avec l’aide de Paul Leon, en vue d’une deuxieme edition de Finnegans Wake, pendant l’ete 1940, a St. Gerandle-Puy, Allier. En partant pour l’Amerique en septembre 1940, j’ai emporte l’original pour le remettre a l’editeur americain, B.W. Huebsch, qui, depuis, a incorpore ces corrections dans une nouvelle edition. Le present exemplaire fut emporte en Suisse par Joyce en decembre 1940, et trouve parmi ses papiers. Maria Jolas. Paris, Septembre 1949".
