Notes: During the final preparation of the "Circe" episode for the
printer, the husband of one of Joyce's typists (a Mr. Harrison)
threw the episode into the fire. A number of pages were destroyed.
Joyce had no other copy; he therefore asked John Quinn, who had
purchased the holograph manuscript of Ulysses, to return the portion
destroyed. Quinn had the requested pages photographed in
New York and sent to Joyce, who then had these pages copied by
hand (MS. V. B. 13. b. and part of MS. V. B. 13. d.) and typed (MS.
V. B. 13. c, pp. 128-37 of MS. V. B. 13. e., and pp. 130-42 of MS.
