London Miscellaneous Material [J:502], 1960

 File — Box: 2, Item: 8

Scope and Contents

This file contains about 40 pp. of typescript and holograph MS of various unpublished drafts of untitled and evidently unfinished pieces, written from 1962 to 1967 in London. Although Burroughs has written on the front cover of the red folder Layouts from original 3rd Mind, Diaries, Last Word of Dutch Schultz, none of the texts present in this folio seem to resemble either the first or last mentioned texts. One single page, legal size, holography MS appears to be a complete routine, and is certainly unpublished. There are also a number of collages with ink washes.
