Scope and content

Loose sheets with cover page in Peter's hand "Royal Hunt M.S.S.," typed pages with revisions in Peter's hand throughout. At the front, inside the front card or cover, is a copy of French's Acting Edition of the play with the note on cover "2nd version Done for the Prospect Production (mainly emendations to Pizarro) P.S." with 12 sheets of revisions typed and in Peter's hand.

The last quarter of the MS appears to have been turned around and has been left that way as the MS has no pagination. Near the end of the MS there are two sheets of an introduction, and at the beginning of the turned pages is a one page review of "Cosi fan tutte" at Glyndebourne (incomplete). At the front is a card or a cover with a drawing of the sun.
