August 7, 1960 My dear Vocha: This will probably be my last letter before sailing; I do get additional mail I may not answer except in emergency, until I am on board.

Background of his diaries
The dictionary defines pilgrimage as "a long, weary journey, as to a shrine." However, the Latin roots of the word carry the meaning of "traveling or wandering through open spaces or fields."

June 23, 1960
June 23, 1960 My dear John: It probably takes at least six days for mail to reach Gloucester—sometimes two days from Boston, because few trains carry mail or baggage. I have not heard from either the bank or my travel agent recently. I have overpaid my travel agent over a hundred dollars and he is... Sign in to see full entry.
