Slur from d to b in A, literal reading

Four-quaver slur in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

In A the L.H. slur in the 1st half of the bar encompasses only the 2nd and 3rd quaver. It is almost certainly one of the more glaring examples of the inaccurate notation in this autograph (in this respect), hence to the main text we adopt the editions' interpretation of this slur.
