Mike, List: "MS" is just a standard abbreviation for manuscript. Robin assigned numbers to Peirce's many manuscripts while preparing his catalogue back in the 1960s, so some (myself included) prefer to reference them with "R" for Robin. The catalogue itself is online at http://www.iupui.edu/~peirce/robin/robin.htm. As you will see, it is organized topically, and each entry has a brief description of the contents, as well as a known or estimated date of composition. R 612 has Peirce's title, "Common Ground," is dated November 1908, and includes among its contents, "Definition of 'determination.'"
Jeff's worthy project seeks to transcribe many of the later manuscripts that have not yet been published in the Writings. The introductory paragraph at https://www.fromthepage.com/collection/show?collection_id=16 includes a link to the transcription guidelines. I think it would be fantastic if more List participants could get involved in this effort.
