Extent1 pageCompletenessIncomplete

Physical extent: 1 represented manuscript page / 1 TSS catalogue unit

TSS: 65901

Typed witness associated with Blue River Blues Draft 1. The source questions whether the material is a Glenn retype or reflects a different typewriter, so exact physical class remains unresolved.

Additional documentary notes

  • False Start: The source explicitly identifies this as a false start of TSS 65900. (witness level)
  • Physical Class Unresolved: Because the associated page-1 evidence is marked 'GR? Third Typewriter??', this witness is not forced into either original Howard typescript or Glenn retype class. (witness level) · Uncertain
