The arrangement, primarily chronological by published work, also reflects two peculiarities of his writing style. Rather than numbering successive drafts, he labelled some as the final draft prematurely. As best as possible, these have been arranged in chronological order. Some spin-off has been labelled as to when it was created during the writing process, and these have been described at the appropriate place in the File List. The letter is not meant to imply any sense of order, chronological or otherwise.
