As to the bulk of the Notes, I told them they might count on forty pages like those in the Friends-Glass Notes. When you've finished, you might want to run through the MS, cutting out any notes that, in view of the completed work, might seem to be less than necessary. Don't worry about typing. Enid likes to do that and she is fast and dependable.
