Pages 3-5 of this document present an addendum (to which Muse refers as a "rider"), the text of which, according to Muse's notes, was to be inserted in the middle of page 2. The pagination of the document is therefore as follows: pp. 1-2, pp. 1-2 of Muse's text; pp. 3-5, Muse's addendum to p. 2; pp. 6-15, pp. 3-12 of Muse's text. We represent the material in the addendum as it appears on the physical pages, not incorporating it into the flow of the document at the point of insertion that Muse indicates. For this reason, the text at the bottom of p. 2 continues at the top of p. 6 (according to our pagination).
