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. There are still nine days before I leave and the one big problem of marketing my manuscripts. I have been given contradictory... Sign in to see full entry.

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."

Cambridge, Mass, July 31, 1960 My dear Charles: My greatest difficult

Cambridge, Mass, July 31, 1960 My dear Charles: My greatest difficulty has been to get suitable time to write these and not just notes like those of a diary.

July 30, 1960 Cambridge Dear Harry: I am in another of my fools-for-luck series. Come down to Cambridge to call at Harvard and look up a family connection.

I came down on personal business and had the very unifying experience of finding my sailing date cancelled for the third time. I do not know whether there is any Saturnine influence in my horoscope—have not heard of it—but... Sign in to see full entry.

June 29, 1960 Dear Jack: I have just received your letter of the 18th which I am answering at once because of its timely factors, though I do not know when it will be mailed.

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.

Pukhtunistan Times Editorial: This issue comes largely through the kind cooperation of my friend, Mr. Pundit, with his series of “The Pundit Spunned It.” Please read with patience.
