I think the stories in question are the literally "unpublished" ones.  The
_Ney Yorker_ stories are generally available on microfilm, but there are a
few stories that never hit the press.  A magazine bought one and never
printed it; others were written and...well, not published.  Christmas
presents to Whit Burnet, maybe.  The details are available in Hamilton's
biography.  Princeton has at least one ("An Ocean of Bowling Balls," I
think) secured in a safe somewhere.
