Abbreviated in the Manuscript Chronology as ET3.

Untitled typescript with manuscript additions and corrections by Samuel Beckett of a revised version of That Time; undated. 3 leaves. 30 x 21 cm. Inscribed on f. 1 'TS 3' by Beckett. Corrections are made in the text and margins using pencil, black ink and type. Each leaf is headed in pencil by Beckett (eg. f. 1 'A 71'), the numbers referring to the line-count in each monologue. Ff. 1, 2 and 3 are 'complete' versions of the monologues 'A', 'B' and 'C'. Each leaf and the monologue it contains is divided by Beckett into twelve sections in pencil. The text runs over to the verso of the leaf on all three leaves. Thus, there are now thirty-six sections in the play, as opposed to the twenty-four of previous drafts.
Text on verso of each leaf appears to have originally been on a separate piece of paper which was sellotaped to bottom of leaf.
