A draft exists in MS. Locke e. 6.ff. 99-106: Notes by William King, Bishop of Derry on Locke’s Essay [1692?],
enclosed in a letter to William Molyneux, [early 1692?],
MS. Locke c. 13, ff. 6-7.
[printed De Beer iv. ( 1544)] ff. 113-114:
Two sheets, 315 × 215 mm, with notes arranged according to a method of commonplacing that indents headings
under an alphabet in the top margin;
although the notes are dated “[16]93” they probably date from early 1694,
because they contain references to books published in 1694.
f. 113:
Anima (1693 [or 94]) ff. 115-116:
Drafts for planned additions to the second edition of the Essay,
on one folded sheet; signed and endorsed “Understanding A.”

ff. 143-154:
A fragment of a notebook containing possible addition to the Essay.
The manuscript consists of a quire of 24 leaves (signed AA and endorsed “Ethica” on f. 152v).
The outer leaves, containing “Thus I thinke,” measure 165 × 100 mm;
the inner leaves, containing “Of ethick in general,”measure 155 × 93 mm;
the two papers probably were not originally quired together.
Fols. 145 and 153-154 are blank.
