3. Materials for the tale _The Crocodile_.—Answers to _Sovremennik_.—Notes. 4. Letter to Katkov (1865) explaining the fundamental idea of _Crime and Punishment_. No. 3 (154 pages) 1. Materials for the novel _Crime and Punishment_. 2. Materials for the novel _The Idiot_. No. 4 (Pages not numbered) _Journal, 1876._ January, February, March. No. 5 (84 pages) _Journal, 1876._ April, December. No. 6 (58 pages) _Journal, 1881._ No. 10 (136 pages) _The Idiot._ No. 14 (56 pages) _The Possessed._ Notes for the end of the novel. No. 15 (62 pages) _The Possessed._ In addition to these note-books which were in A. G. Dostoevsky’s list, there were also found in the white case three other note-books not mentioned by her, namely, (1) containing materials for _The Raw Youth_, in a linen binding, 204 pages; (2) unbound, 33½ folios, also containing material for _The Raw Youth_ (one of these may be either No. 7 or No. 8 above); (3) containing materials for _The Idiot_, 144 pages.[1] Footnote 1: This is almost certainly No. 11 above, since it contains, besides notes for _The Idiot_, notes for _The Eternal Husband_. Everything of value in these note-books will be published in a book, now being prepared, which will include Dostoevsky’s letters found in the case; they cover the period 1839-1855, mostly to his brother, as well as the period 1866-1880, the latter being to his fiancée and future wife, A. G. Dostoevsky. The new note-books will make it possible to understand with some accuracy and completeness the method of work by which Dostoevsky produced such masterpieces as _Crime and Punishment_, _The Raw Youth_, and _The Possessed_. Besides these, there are scattered through the note-books subjects of stories (_The Crank_), long tales (_The Seekings_), poems (_Imperator_), which were planned but not written.
