| Editorial comments: | Incomplete and undated; listed by date of Lawson's resignation. This memoir may have been begun on the day, but as late as early 1992 (when this author first saw it) the note was even less complete that it is now. It is likely MT added to it that year, perhaps using fragmentary notes subsequently destroyed. See discussion on this page. Read all documents from the 1989 release of MT's party and personal papers. |
