 On Jane Austen’s death it was left to her sister Cassandra and then passed to other family relations until it was divided up in 1915.The smaller part was later acquired by the Morgan Library in 1925 and the remaining larger portion went through various hands until it was bought by the Bodleian in 2011.There are erasures and corrections to the manuscript and in three cases there were substantial revisions written on small pieces of paper and pinned in place over the cancelled portions.
