Alan,
it's not only a theory out of the blue. I suggest you to read
"Pehr Kalms
brev till samtida. " 2 volumes,
and
"Pehr Kalms Resa till Norra Amerika / å nyo utgiven av Fredr.
Elfving och
Georg Schauman
Helsingfors, edited 1904-1929, 4 volumes"

I am pretty sure that if you read those you would agree that
it's the only
possible theory.

So why didn't the editors Roos and Kogerus notice this? They
must have slept through their work. Is that what you meant by
"without editor's hand on" when you wrote this in February last
year:

"It's in volume 4. I sent the ISBN number in an answer to tk.
here it is once more: 951-9018-43-3 editor svenska
litteratursällskapet i Finland, edited
Helsingfors 1988. The full journal of volume 4 without editor's
hand on has been edited by John E Roos and Harry Krogerus in
1988. I am sorry but I don't have the ISBN number for that work"

That's a confusing message, because you quoted the ISBN of the
book and then said you didn't have the ISBN. But it's easy to
get lost in this jungle, as I have done. Why did the version of
"Resa till Norra Amerika" reissued by Elfving & Schauman have
four volumes when the first edition had only three?

The question you ask is the one I asked myself and the reason why I looked
into the Resa till Norra Amerika edited the last volume 1929(tillägg i
enlighet med Kalms egna noteringar i olika brev. även en bok utgiven i
Åtvidaberg med privata brev som inte finns i den ref. brevsamlingen pekar
mot detta).

My own reflection after reading them all was and is,
observe here is a theory, that the examplar of Kalm's hand we discuss here,
called dairy/journal, in reality not only is a go-between from the first
diary to the manuscript for 4th volume,
but might be a copy of the manuscript 'lost'.
Reason for this is the same as I refered to before, the by Kalm numbered
pages including blank numbered pages,
AND the fact that Kalm in one of the letters, don't remember which for the
moment since I don't have that book at home, hinted that the 'Amercian'
elk/moose text which Kalm copied from Philosophical Transactions and some
other parts added in the 4th volume edited 1988 were supposed to be inside
the text.
