The fragment "There was a wall in course of erection" (without parentheses) is a first-level addition to the first draft (1A*0) (FDV: 47). The parentheses and the phrase "(There are by now 1001 stories of the same, all told)" were added in the second draft (1*1). The syntactic transposition to "There was a wall of course in erection" was also made in the second draft (JJA 44: 49-51; BM MS 47471a-5-6).
