Inclusions:
The MS is placed inside a card cover, printed with the address of J. Vidal-Mégret. The number ‘233’ and additional notes on where to find the MS in the Œuvres complètes have been written to the right and beneath the address in blue biro and pencil. This suggests that the MS may have been sold at auction at a J. Vidal-Mégret sale, and that it was Lot 233.
