- Description
Manuscript specimen
Fragment from a draft of chapter 7, page 147 (note: this fragment directly leads to the fragment tipped into volume 7 of this set): "+ seems delightfully substantial + familiar. The rosiny pines are types of health, the Robins feeding on the lawn ^sod belong to the same species you have known since childhood, + surely these are the very flowers of the old home garden. Bees hum as in a harvest noon,"
