There was another printing, on newsprint, dated Summer 1943, featuring differences in text and typographic arrangement. Accompanied by a t.l.s., [Np], 27 Aug. 1950, from Wright's secretary, Eugene Masselink, forwarding this copy, along with some other Taliesin papers, to an inquiring party. Uncommon and fragile.
