Textual identity is not textual authority. “Catalogue primary/default” selects the default catalogue representation; it does not mean that this wording is automatically Howard’s most authoritative text.
Surviving manuscript evidence
The records below describe surviving physical typescripts, carbons, manuscript material and documentary catalogue evidence for this exact textual state. TSS numbers identify physical catalogue units; they are not story or draft IDs.

Story-text component preserved within a surviving carbon-copy issue/typescript of The Right Hook.
Additional documentary notes
- Amateur Periodical Context: Story text survives within The Right Hook; the larger issue remains physical/source context rather than a REH Writings Work. (witness level)
- Carbon Copy: The issue-level inventory identifies the surviving issue as a carbon copy. (witness level)
- Issue Pagination Error: The source says issue page 7 should have been numbered 6; this is an issue-level misnumbering, not a missing story page. (witness level)
