Fingering written in FED, more probable reading

Less probable reading

No teaching fingering

The fingering, added in pencil, most probably by Miss O'Méara, could have been indicated to her by Chopin. According to us, the numeral under the last quaver in bar 4 can be interpreted in two ways – as '4' or as '1'.
