Text-03 — “A Dream” — about 1828, assumed as having been part of the Wilmer manuscript
collection. This manuscript has not survived (but this version is presumably recorded in Text-04)
Text-05 — “A Dream” — 1845 — manuscript changes in ATMP-EH in preparation
for the Broadway Journal and RAOP — (Mabbott text C) (The only “changes” in this version are a
small symbol near the top of the page to mark the selection, and the additon of a “P” as a signature at the end. The
initial was presumably added because that is the way it was signed in the BJ printing.)
