Additional documentary notes
- Erasure: “’em” was erased and “the camp” written above it as a replacement. (First Cuts p. 13)
- Typed Insertion Uncertain Placement: “Make him spell Constantnople” was inserted between lines; First Cuts says the intended placement is not clearly marked. (First Cuts p. 15)
- Typed Insertion: “Lobo Harrison” was typed directly above “McGrath,” changing the Character named at this spelling-match locus in the revised layer. (First Cuts p. 24)
