There were two typographical errors on page 25 of this small paper issue. One of them was corrected in the large paper issue, JH-A1a, but the second was not. In the copy shown below, inscribed to Morris W. Abbott, Mr. Cabell has hand corrected this error. The second error, "Cythera" for "Cytherea", has also been corrected, but in an unknown hand, not by Mr. Cabell.
