http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/30793831

Patrick's notes were intended to be published as footnotes to The Portrait, an Introduction written by Marjorie Burke for James Branch Cabell's Quiet Please. The notes were done at Cabell's request and incorporated his suggestions, but failed to appear in the 1952 edition of the book, published by the University of Florida Press. Accompanying the notes is a cover letter, 1958 August 2, from Patrick to John Cook Wyllie, explaining the history of the notes and how they are to be used.
