Chapter 4, level 5''''*: FW: 87.35-90.32

To recapitulate: the  level 5 page (JJA 101) covering FW: 87.35-90.32 was retyped as level 5+ (JJA 115), but so badly that even though he tried to recuperate it with index lines as he made further additions, Joyce finally gave it up and, because the level 5 page with its many overlays was difficult to read (so that the 5+ typist had some excuse) Joyce had the level 4 fair copy typed again, level 5‡,  and had an amanuensis write in the level 5 overlay and some (but not all) of the revisions to 5+ on that (JJA  115). This in turn was retyped (its second page is missing), with only very minor typist's errors, as 5''' (designated with a triple dagger symbol not available to us). And finally--perhaps--it is retyped once again for the level 6 composite. On the level 6 typing, among other differences from the previous drafts,  three significant red ink additions to level 5+, which had not been transferred to 5‡ or 5''', are typed: “, by Waterhose's” (FW: 87.36-88.01); “And with a stopper head, bottle shoulders, a barrel belly and tumblerous legs ? The very man!” (FW: 88.20—most of which is lost by error at level 9); and the replacement of “poor” with “shorn” (FW: 89.17). The Archive Preface (JJA 46: xi) suggests that “A further version of this much-worked-over page is missing”, and while that may be true, the alternative seems to us more likely, that Joyce specifically instructed the level 6 typist for the restoration of the conspicuous level 5+ overlays which had been missed.
