“First draft of chapter plan” [Part I]

This is another detailed outline of Part I, started on the same day as the previous item and finished a few days later. This outline, however, contains more detail and is closer to the final story in some ways (though there are still several elements presented here that Rand later changed or removed from the novel).

After the outline, which takes up the first two pages, Rand made two more pages of notes related to Part I. She laid out elements specific to the events of chapter three on the third page, and on the final page had a couple more notes about Henry Cameron and Guy Francon (with an earlier spelling of his last name). Also on the final page, Rand brainstormed about what name to give Toohey’s niece and settled on the one used in the novel: “Catherine (Katey) Halsey.”
