A short revision describes love for the Willimatte valley and its workers, performers, and wanderers. Human is inserted into the description of wild beauty, while marginal words revise a canceled account of violence and another American valley.

The landscape includes its workers and wanderers. Handwritten hold of another and couNtry revise the canceled passage before the American arena and valley references. Their attachment remains provisional, so the page supports no settled argument about unity or violence.

A typed sentence: 'I have come to love the wild human beauty of the Willimatte / valley.' and its people, revised by hand with 'in thE hAnd / hittiNg', 'hold of another', 'couNtry', 'AMERICAN / ARENA / vAllEy', ending 'before the sea.'

The revisions turn a celebration of valley people toward a harder image of a country and an arena; the exact order of the hand insertions stays uncertain.
