APPENDICES
(paper)

The significance of the practice letter and the amorous letter to Jaunick can be attributed to the fact that both echo motifs of the letter from Boston (the "prototype" letter as Claudine Raynaud describes) linking Issy’s writings to ALP and the whole, the crux of Finnegans Wake.

"Dear (name of desired subject), well, and I go on to." (280.9)

"engine dear" ? dear thank you ? (458.25)

Well (enquiries after all-healths)" (280.14)

"allathome" (FW 457.35),

"lovely" (280.15)

"like a born gentleman" (FW 460.33-44)

"pershan of cates" (280.14)

"presents" (FW 458.15)

tender condolences for happy funeral (280.11)

"funforall" (FW 458.22)

(mention person suppressed for the moment, F.M.) (FW 280.12-13)

young Fr M[ [Father Michael]" (FW 458.03),

how are you (question maggy) (280.14)

(consolation of shopes) to soon air (280.21)

"hope to soon hear from you. And thanks ever" (FW 458.25-26)

"of course, please too write" (FW 458.18)

"kissists my exits" (280.27)

"with my fondest and much left to tutor. X. X. X. X. (FW 458.02)

Practice Letter (280.09-36)
BLUE: Hill Annotations
RED: McHugh Annotations
GREEN: Other Sources

• "Desired subject" could have multiple meanings: the name of the desired person, that is the love interest, as in a person sexually desired. In addition, the term "subject" may imply a person of a lower class or status.
• The idea of a "subject" also may refer to the writing lesson which taught that a letter is "from a person to a place about a thing." Possibly the desired subject refers to that "thing" that a letter is about.

• Ann -- Amati Nomen: name of beloved

• The subject of this letter is A.N., a designation that seems to point obliquely and begrudgingly to Anna Livia, but it also suggests "nourse Asa," presumably a female nanny, but in Norse mythology, the chief of the gods – i.e., Issy is addressing her father in a parallel salutation to Anna Livia’s "Reverend. May we add majesty?" (615.12-13) in her letter. As we shall see, the intrusion of the father into Issy’s letter is an important signal of her role in the novel (Benstock WIJ 186-87).

• This practice letter is intended for the relative in Boston named "Maggy" (Benstock WIJ 186).

• Phrasing similar to the "Boston, Mass." Letter: "Dear whom it proceded to mention" (111.10-11)

• "I go on to" – What does Issy go on to? Does she go on to her place in the domestic circle? To impending marriage?

• Inclusion of the writing process . . .

• She licks her (pencil) or finger.
• Shikseh: young non-Jewish woman (yiddish)

• The term Skikseh refers to both Issy and Milly (despite Milly’s Jewish father, she is Catholic like her mother.)

• We: Does the inclusion of we refer to Issy’s multiple selves or is it innocent and simpler than that? Perhaps "we" is in reference to Issy expressing the condolences of her whole family rather than just her own.

• (one f in funeral)

• Funeral also appears in the Jaunick letter as "funforall" on 458.23.

• Phrasing similar to the "Boston, Mass." Letter: "funferall" (111.15)

• Father Michael 111.15

• Finn MacCool
• The "person suppressed for the moment" (FW 280.12-13) is Father Michael, the "pettest parriage priest" (FW 458.04), the lover, the third undesired party of this intercourse. Is HCE pushing Issy to write off her lover, to write him dead? (Raynaud 308)

• Phrasing similar to the "Boston, Mass." Letter: "of poor Father Michael" (111.15)

• Phrasing similar to the "Boston, Mass." Letter: "well how are you Maggy" (111.16)

• Milly’s letter also includes the word lovely (3 times).

• Issy is learning all about domesticity, preparing for "impending marriage," and she’s learning it from her mother. (Benstock WIJ 186).
• Does introduce to domestic circles refer to the word proceeding it or the phrase after it or both? That is – does using words like "lovely" in formal letters serve as an initiation into the domestic circle or does the present of wedding cakes and the marriage it represents signify an introduction into the domestic circle?

• cakes – cates: bought provisions
  Also referred to on 11.24 – " a lugly parson of cates."
• The parcel of cakes, or rather the present of wedding cake, changes into a Persian cat ("pershan of cates" – FW 280.15-16) and the theme of narcissism reappears. (Raynaud 308)
• Does the "persian cat" link this passage back to "A letters to a king about a treasure from a cat" on page 278?

• Phrasing similar to the "Boston, Mass." Letter: "a beautiful present of wedding cakes" (111.13-14)

• She rubs her ? Herself? The cat? Possibly "rubs" could refer to erasing or removing a letter or word or sentence from the letter. Also, it could refer to the Mother or nurse’s lessons "rubbing off on" Issy, especially since the next sentence describes the influences on her handwriting.

• pothook: a stroke in handwriting "the curved bit leading into and out of an italic letter, like n, is called a pothook, or a hooked foot" http://www.microsoft.com/truetype/glossary/ch4.htm
• Vere Foster’s handwriting books – curlicues -- Q (the P/Q split)
• Both Milly and Issy’s letters are handwritten; however, it appears as though Issy works at making her letter formations correctly whereas Milly is in a hurry thus resulting in "bad writing."

• she rubs her other -- She rubs her eraser. Possibly rubs out her print – erasing, practicing.
  

• air – P.T.O.
• Issy could be waving the paper in the air and turning it over to write on the other side.

• hopes to soon hear

• Consolidation of shapes to make the letters that make the words that make the sentences that make the letter.
• Phrasing similar to the "Boston, Mass." Letter: "hopes soon to hear well" (111.16)

• prince charming – Cinderella
• Christine Beauchamp – Morton Prince
• Morton Prince reference also on 460.12-13, 22

• [In] The Dissociation of a Personality by Morton Prince, a neurologist who had as patient in Boston, Mass., a young woman whom he calls "Miss Christine L. Beauchamp", and who has one of the most famous cases of multiple personality. Her subconscious self, identified by Prince as "Sally", plays an important part in the Wake, as the secondary personality, or looking-glass sister of H.C.E.’s daughter. . . . There were two sets of [letters]. The first were written to Miss Beauchamp whom she was constantly mocking and addresses as "My sainted Christine" when accusing her of being too friendly with Morton Prince. Joyce refers to this in a passage where Issy is talking about her secondary personalities: "With best from, cinder Christinette if prints chumming" (280.21). her "prints" hides the name Prince with whom Christine is "chumming" and finding a Prince Charming. (Atherton 40).

• Prints may refer to the a type of writing – If Issy prints, e.g. writes a letter, she can get her man. This may connect this letter with the love letters she writes in the Wake.

• Isold(e) – soldi: money
• When desires are sold, for example,
  

• heliotrope – flower fragrance is most noticeable at sunrise and sunset
• http://www.msuue.msu.edu/msue/imp/mod03/01700466.html
• Reference also on 461 "for I always had a crush on heliotrope since the dusess of your cycled round the Finest Park"
• Parnell: "When you sell, get my price"

• Links this letter to Martha Clifford who encloses a daisy in her letter to Henry Flower and asks, "What kind of perfume does your wife use?" Refers to the language of flowers – the allure and power of femininity.

charming – words

• "chummin" is also part of the 100-letter-word on 311.9.
• The word chumming is found twice in this letter, a use of repetition which echoes Milly’s overuse of the word "lovely."
• "In otherwards" could also refer to "other worlds" – Issy will enter into a different world of sexuality and marriage, etc.

• This letter demonstrates Issy’s ability to be "veryveryvery chumming" when in pursuit of her "supposed adeal," in this case a Prince Charming like the one who rescued the real Cinderella from kitchen drudgery and made her a princess. She is learning the art of using "her flower or perfume" as "asamples" of her femininity in hopes of winning her prize – a rich "prince." (Benstock WIJ 187).

• ideal
• adore -- a deal
  

• Xs on letter (kisses)
• kiss my arse

• Maybe this is Issy’s reaction to the idea that she should be looking for the ideal man, the one prince charming. Perhaps she’s more interested in leading a life like Milly Bloom, who is following less-charted footsteps by being a photographer’s apprentice rather than a bride. Or perhaps this signals Issy’s desire to have more than one man in her life . . . precursor to the many love letters she intends to write to various suitors.

• Phrasing similar to the "Boston, Mass." Letter: "with four crosskisses" (111.10-11)

• she licks her other She licks her other finger?
• "Licks"could also mean (informally) "a. to hit or beat, especially as a punishment; b. to overcome or defeat, as in a fight, game or contest; c. to outdo or surpass" – "Licks: a critical or complaining remark. Maybe "shelicksheruther" means Issy’s one self beats or overcomes the other self? Now she’s the sexual being rather than the innocent, domestic girl?
  

• "Auburn" from Goldsmith "Lovieliest village of the plain" that has fallen into disrepair.
• Auburn: reddish brown or golden brown
• Charlemagne a ruler who never mastered writing – what significance is there is signing the letter with a name that refers to someone who never could write? Is that Issy being subversive or humorous?

• chene: oak heroic age

In linking Issy’s copybook letter with Martha’s letter with it’s similarly formulaic language, an interesting comparison can be made with a letter of Nora’s which Joyce apparently suspected came from a letter writing manual. Brenda Maddox, in her biography of Nora, explains:

Nora went out and bought some decorated writing paper, with purple violets and bright green leaves, the kind that her mother liked, and in her best handwriting and striving to express herself with great dignity she wrote him a formal love letter. This loving if stilted letter did much to tarnish Nora’s later reputation. Joyce showed it to Stanislaus, saying that J.F. Byrne to whom he also had shown it, said that Nora must have copied it from a letter-writing book. (Byrne, a great supporter of Nora’s later denied he would have said anything so cruel.) It is the only letter of Nora’s to have been reproduced in facsimile among Joyce’s collect letters and in Ellmann’s biography – probably because it is on flower notepaper. Ellmann use the letter as a key to Nora’s character, saying that Nora’s "artifice in the face of his own attempt at total sincerity gave Joyce a hint for the amorality of woman" (Ellmann 529 qtd in Maddox 36-37).

Leinster Street -- August 1904

My Dearest

My loneliness which I have so deeply felt, since we parted last night seemed to fade away as if by magic but, alas, it was only for a short time, and I then became worse than ever. when I read your letter from the moment that I close my eyes till I open them again in the morning. It seems to me that I am always in your company under every possible variety of circumstances talking to you walking with you meeting you suddenly in different places until I am beginning to wonder if my spirit takes leave of my body in sleep and goes to seek you, and what is more find you or perhaps this is nothing but a fantasy. Occasionally too I fall into a fit of melancholy that lasts for the day and which I find almost impossible to dispel it is about time now I think that I should finish this letter as the more I write the lonelier I feel in consequence of you being so far away and the thought of having to write write [sic] what I would wish to speak were you beside me makes me feel utterly miserable so with best wishes and love I now close ---.

Believe me to be ever yours XXXXXXX

Norah Barnacle

Another letter of Nora’s (below) reads much more like Molly in Ulysses.

Dear Jim

I feel so very tired to night I can't say much many thanks for your kind letter which I received unexpectedly this evening I was very busy when the Postman came I ran off to one of the bedroom's to read your letter I was called five times but did not pretend to hear it is now half past eleven and I need not tell you I can hardly keep my eyes open and I am delighted to sleep the night away when I cant be thinking of you so much when I awake in the morning I will think of nothing but you Good night till 7 P.m. to morrow eve

Nora xxxxxxxxx

Overview of similarities to Martha:
both give gifts, give thanks, include apologies, references to flowers (M: daisy, I: blue speedwell/passionflower), similar language such as "by return" and thinking of you, inclusion of kisses; also both raise issues of naming, revealing secrets (or not), desire, and role-playing

• mise: me (Irish) (003.09-10)

• dearbhrathair: brother (Irish)
• dearest

• dubh: black (Irish)

Dart-shuile: heifer eyes (Macpherson’s Darthula) -- 'Dar-thula a Poem', published by James Macpherson in his 1765 'edition' of The Works of Ossian the Son of Fingal.

"According to Macpherson's 'argument', Darthula (or Deidre) was the lover of Nathos, one of the three sons of Usnoth, Lord of Etha (in modern Argyll) who had successfully campaigned in Ireland against the usurper Cairbar. However, 'a storm rising at sea they were unfortunately driven back on that part of the coast of Ulster where Caibar was encamped with his army. The three brothers, after having defended themselves for some time with great bravery were overpowered and slain, and the unfortunate Dar-thula killed herself upon the body of her beloved Nathos'."

• (last minute gift of notepaper)
• The giving of gifts connects this letter with Martha’s Clifford’s letter who includes a flower and pin with her letter to Bloom (also, Bloom gave Martha stamps in the previous letter). Both gifts are to remember them by, however Issy’s gift to Jaun is a departing gift whereas Martha’s is given to entice Bloom to meet her.
• "I’m sorry" is another link to Martha’s letter. Martha writes: "I am sorry you did not like my last letter. ... I feel so bad about." Martha’s apology seems more coy and flirtatious than Issy’s, who’s words seem more genuine (possibly the girlish, innocence and feelings of Milly seeping in?)

• Rudolf Valentino: famed "Latin Lover" (Rudolf Nureyev)

• "Italian-born American film actor, Rudolf Valentino (1895: 1926) reached the shores of America without money, skills, or friends; what he had was a dream that brought him to the height of an industry built on dreams. Valentino learned a new language, changed his name, and, in making his mark in Hollywood, changed America's vision of manliness, romance, and love. Among his films that are now considered classics are: THE SHEIK, BLOOD AND SAND, and THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE." [http://www.isc.lsi.fsu.edu/v070848.htm]

• Valentino changed his name just as the name of Issy’s lovers changes from Shaun to Jaun to Jaunick. Also, this links back to the practice letter in which Issy signs off under an alias.
• "much left" = "much love"

• heavenly benedicted papal bull
• Phrasing similar to the "Boston, Mass." Letter: "of poor Father Michael" (111.15) as well as the "Practice Letter" "(mention person suppressed for the moment, F.M.)" (280)

• forty days & forty nights (Christ in Wilderness, Matt 4:2; The Flood, Gen 7:17).
• And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. (Gen 7:17)

• And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. (Matt 4:2)

• Achille Ratti became Pop Pius XI

"Pope Pius XI (born May 31, 1857; died February 10, 1939) was pope from 1922 until his death. He was born Achille Ratti at Descio near Milan. He headed Milan's Ambrosian Library in 1907 and the Vatican Library in 1914. In 1918 he became Pope Benedict XV's representative to Poland. He became cardinal-archbishop of Milan in 1921. The deadlocked conclave of 1922 chose Ratti as pope on the eve of Benito Mussolini's March on Rome. Facing a choice between the right and the left, the Vatican decided that fascism seemed the lesser of two evils. The church's place in Italy and Germany was defined by concordats that later gave a precise basis for protest of fascist violations. The Lateran Treaty of 1929, negotiated by Cardinal Gasparri, resolved the Roman Question with a financial settlement and restored papal sovereignty over Vatican City. This modus vivendi asserted the Catholic character of the Italian state and allowed a nonpolitical role for Catholic Action, a lay movement founded by Pius in 1923. Violation of the treaty terms by Mussolini provoked an encyclical, Non Abbiamo Bisogno which denounced the claims of the totalitarian state. In 1933 the papacy negotiated a concordat with Nazi Germany; later, however, Pius condemned the Third Reich's "aggressive neopaganism" in the encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge. The encyclical Divini Redemptoris condemned communism. Forty years after Leo XIII's encyclical on the social question, Pius XI issued Quadragesimo anno which elaborated the church's position on social and economic reform; it called for justice and charity in all endeavors and stressed Christian social action. As pastor, Pius XI appointed native bishops to many of the Asian hierarchies and founded colleges at Rome for the Eastern Rites. For the tenth anniversary of the Lateran Treaty, Pius XI drafted a discourse that presumably condemned totalitarianism in the strongest terms. After his death, however, his successor, Pius XII (Eugenio Pacelli, secretary of state from 1930), decided not to deliver the speech on the eve of World War II." http://listserv.american.edu/catholic/church/papal/pius.xi/pius.xi.info.html

• ratti: quick (Italian)

• fiance indulge my fancy

• end (011.28) evening

• Galway
• As in most love letters, Issy and Martha both speak about thinking of the one love. Issy asks Jaun to think of her ("please kindly think galways again or again, never forget"). It is a given that Issy will think of him. However, Martha reminds Bloom that she thinks of him (" I think of you so often you have no idea"). Of course, there is no reason to believe her. Where is the feeling in her letter?

• Ailments: Martha complains of a bad headache in her letter.

• "Goodbye, Sweetheart, Goodby": ‘the levret bounds o’er earth’s soft flooring’

• blue speedwell: From the Webster Dictionary: "Speedwell: any plant, shrub, or small tree of the genus Veronica, of the figwort family, having opposite leaves and spikes of small flowers [1570-80; SPEED + WELL; so called because its petals fade and fall early]"

• A spell of floralora" (representing, perhaps, the lore of flowers, or the language of flowers) abounds in both Martha’s and Issy’s letters. Martha's gift of a daisy, signifying innocence, is comparable to Issy's "spring of blue speedwell" a flowering plant whose petals fade and fall early (possibly a reference to her sexual prowess, being deflowered or de-petaled at a young age). Further in the passage, Issy speaks of the passionflower as well. The significance of this particular flower goes further than the obvious sexual/love connotation, for the flower itself has been shown to have a sedative effect, used in the treatment sleeplessness and insomnia, something fitting for a book written in the dreamworld.

• Leslie Stuart: Florodora (operetta): "Book by: Own Hall, Lyrics by: E. Boyd-Jones and Paul Rubens, Music by: Leslie Stuart, Opened November 11, 1899 at the Lyric Theatre, (London) and ran for 455 performances. Synopsis: The elderly manufacturer of Florodora perfume wants to marry Dolores, whose father has been cheated by Gilfain. Dolores loves Gilfain's manager, whom Gilfain wants for his own daughter even though she loves someone else. Everyone ends up in Wales where the complications get unknotted and the knots get properly tied." [http://www.meowser.com/f/florodora.shtml]

• 6^th Station of the Cross: Veronica wipes Christ’s face
  Issy and Martha play roles in their missives, however these roles are slightly different. Issy, with her baby-talk and illusions to Veronica & Christ as well as Arrah from Arrah-na Pogue takes on the role of Savior. Whereas Martha, on the other hand, with her threats of punishment takes on the role of scolding mother.

• Erne St Lower, Dublin

• Exiles II: ‘I longed to be betrayed . . .’
• betreuen: care for (German)

• One stark difference between Issy and Martha’s letters is the amount of personal information included in each. Issy reveals more secrets, candidly telling of her other lovers. S he is up front with her sexual nature as honesty is important to her ("Can’t you understand? O bother, I must tell the trouth!"). She also expects the same from her beau, "Of course, please too write, won’t you, and leave your little bag of doubts, inquisitive, behind you unto your utterly thine." Conversely, Martha’s letter contains few personal admissions, rather she appears somewhat deceptive. However, she does promise future revelations if Henry writes her a long note ("Then I will tell you all"),

• petit bonhomme: penis (French slang)
• Swift: ‘Ppt’

• unlatched garden

• Wellington: ‘Up, guards, & at them’ Jack: penis (slang)
• Atem (Tem): creator in Egyptian Book of the Dead
• my adorers
• obey all my orders

• loudspeaker

• This self-definition of "lewd speaker" could equally be applied to Martha as she tries to write in the lewd way that Henry invites [find reference to him pushing it further next time]. Her letter has references to possible S/M and she uses "nasty" several times.

• candle: penis (Slang)
• there’s nothing can hold a candle to it

• The words of desire and longing are expressed strongly by both women. Issy: "I felt for his strength, his manhood, his do you mind?" Martha: "I have never felt myself so much drawn to a man as you."

• Masterthief: a category of fold tales
• In the practice letter, Issy signs with another name. Martha also has a reference to naming in her letter: "I often think of the beautiful name you have"however, this beautiful name isn’t really his, he’s changed it. Also, is Martha Clifford the writer’s real name? Issy is upfront with mutating her identit, is she more "honest" b/c we are in subconscious dream? Is it easier for Martha to hide in the realistic world?

• passionflower: "Passion Flower, called Maracuja in the Amazon, is indigenous throughout tropical and semi-tropical zones from South America to North America. There are over 200 species of Passionflower with the most common found in the Amazon region being Passiflora edulis.^{(1, 2)} Maracuja is a hardy woody vine growing up to thirty feet in length and puts off tendrils enabling it to climb up and over other plants. It bear striking large white flowers with pink or purple centers and delicious edible fruit. It was the flowers which gave it the name, Passion Flower or "flower of passion", because Spanish missionaries thought they represented some of the objects associated with the Crucification of Christ. Passion Flower was first discovered in Peru by a Spanish doctor named Monardes in 1569 who documented the indigenous uses and took it back to the Old World where it quickly became a favorite herb tea. Spanish conquerors of Mexico and South America also learned its use from the Aztec Indians and it eventually became widely cultivated in Europe. Since its discovery, Maracuja has been widely used as a sedative, antispasmodic and nerve tonic. Indians throughout the Amazon use the leaf tea as a sedative.⁽²⁾ When introduced into Europe in the 1500's it was used as a calming and sedative tea. It was introduced in North American medicine in the mid 1800's as a sedative through native and slave use in the South as a tea, as well as bruising the leaves for headache, bruises and pain. In many countries in Europe and in the U.S. and Canada, the use of Passion Flower to tranquilize and settle edgy nerves has been documented for over 200 years. Its long documented history in herbal medicine has included its uses for colic, diarrhea, dysentery, dysmenorrhea, epilepsy, eruptions, insomnia, morphinism, neuralgia, neurosis, opthalmia, piles and spasm." http://www.rain-tree.com/maracuja.htm

A heart as soft, a heart as kind, /  A heart as sound and free, / As in the whole world thou canst find, / That heart I'll give to thee.
Bid that heart stay, and it will stay, / To honour thy decree; / Or bid it languish quite away, /  And 't shall do so for thee.
Bid me to weep, and I will weep, / While I have eyes to see; / And having none, yet I will keep / A heart to weep for thee.
Bid me despair, and I'll despair, / Under that cypress tree; / Or bid me die, and I will dare / E'en death, to die for thee.
Thou art my life, my love, my heart, / The very eyes of me; / And hast command of every part, / To live and die for thee.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, / How I wonder what you are. / Up above the world so high, / Like a diamond in the sky. / Twinkle, twinkle, little star, / How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone, / When he nothing shines upon, / Then you show your little light, / Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. /
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, / How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark / Thanks you for your tiny spark; / He could not see which way to go, / If you did not twinkle so. / Twinkle, twinkle, little star, / How I wonder what you are!
