The manuscript was written in or about 1927 (MS.20062, folio 198). It is almost complete, lacking the ends of Chapters 4, 7 and 11, corresponding to pages 131-135, 247-248 and 352-355 f the printed book. It is very largely in Richard Haldane’s autograph, but incorporates leaves from a revised typed version of MS.5920: Typescript by Richard Burdon Haldane entitled 'Memories'. The text of both the autograph and the typed leaves bears numerous amendments in Haldane’s hand.
