Description
Scope/Content: Hugh Everett made several marginal notes in his copy of the DeWitt-Graham (1973) anthology, which was discovered in a DC-area used book store by Dr. George Wesley. This document contains scans of the pages on which Everett's handwriting appears. He seemed particularly frustrated by DeWitt and Graham's insistence that there was a difficulty in his derivation of the typicality measure that formed the basis for Everett's notion of probability in pure wave mechanics.
Scope/Content: This copy of the DeWitt-Graham anthology, apparently Everett's personal copy, was found by Dr. George Wesley of Bethesda, MD in a used bookstore in the greater DC area.
