Subject: RE: Origins: Child Ballads: US Versions Part 7
Sorry about the slip, Richie. My memory isn't too good. I knew I had some Parsons stuff that Susan sent but hadn't remembered it was for this ballad.

As for Barry's continuation of Child's lettering, he was probably trying to establish his own continuation. This would have been made redundant when Bronson came along with his new system.

Parsons' material in other hands. I had assumed that these were the handwriting of the contributor, or at least some of them were.
