James Joyce's Manuscripts and Letters - University at Buffalo Libraries

X. LETTERS FROM JAMES JOYCE
The letters to each recipient are arranged in chronological order.
The salutation and opening of each letter are given for the purpose
of identification; the opening phrase is in no way intended to summarize
the letter or to indicate its subject matter. When a letter
or postcard is dated, the date is given in the standard form: day,
month, year. A date in square brackets is based upon definite internal
evidence. A well-educated guess is indicated by "ca." and
square brackets. When a dating is based on a hunch, it is followed
by a question mark and enclosed in square brackets. A few undated
letters are labeled "not dated" and are filed after the dated letters.
The sender's (Joyce's) address is cited in the same manner
as the date whenever possible.
(N.B.-The reader is again reminded that only the letters of Joyce
are here described; the many letters to Joyce and about Joyce
which are also part of the Buffalo Joyce Collection are not included
in this catalogue.)
