Contents
This is a typescript version of an amanuensis copy in Lucia Joyce’s hand of the text on Buffalo Finnegans Wake notebook MS VI.B.4, pp. [050] and [051]. Joyce probably first wrote this text as an addition (based on notes in VI.B.4) on the "large format typescript" on BL MS 47484a, f. 282v for transition 15 (February 1929). He then had Lucia Joyce transcribe it in the notebook and then had someone (possibly Beach) prepare this typed version, which is a presentation copy for Beach. This version of the text does not appear in any draft or published version, but see transition 15, 228.19–26 as well as FW 528.03–10.
