'Confidence': an article by Joseph Conrad; 1919. Typescript, with heavy autograph revisions, written on one side only of ten large quarto leaves of white laid paper. Watermark 'EXCELSIOR / SUPERFINE / BRITISH MAKE'. The typescript is entitled 'Confidence' in Conrad's hand, and headed 'for DM [Daily Mail] 17 Ap: 1919 Spring Grove. 17/4/19 Original. Joseph Conrad'. It is signed 'Joseph Conrad' at the end, and below the signature are two autograph notes 'Written at the request of the Dly Mail for their peace No (June 30th) after repeated refusals to contribute. JC.' and 'This is the only first draft dictated to the machine. No MS. or shorthand note of this text exists. Of this draft one clean typed copy was made embodying the above pen-and-ink corrections, and sent to Dly Mail. Joseph Conrad'. The verso of the last leaf (f. 13) is initialled 'JC'.
