Typescript drafts of parts of Augustus John, Finishing Touches (London, 1964). Most are fair copy carbon copies, with the exception of ff. 96-101, which are top copies and contain manuscript emendations by the author.
The chapter 'Lord Beaverbrook Entertains' (ff. 36-38) was later re-written as 'A Fair Do at Gay Paree' (ff. 100-101) but was ultimately omitted from the book (see also NLW MS 24135iD, ff. 30-32, 92-94).
