Transcript
  • Friday March 1st Fourth & fifth drafts of Advice to Storytellers . Went over checks of section of Emmie with Laura: took it to Karl with the fourth chapter of Antigua . Went with Laura a walk to Lluchalcari came back in car. Return of Sirocco. Water put into deposito from Canfusimain C'an Fusimañ stream. Motor taken down after another test: pump trouble probably. Read Henry Chapin's Leifsaga & Colony's Brook of Leaves sent me unprovoked. Sirocco made work impossible. At the Hotel at Lluchalcari was a woman, author of Warning to Wantons – Mary Mitchell – who looked XScientist. On the way home from the village I said to Laura: “Do you think X–Sc ience is making progress in US America these days?” She said “X–Sc nce is progress ;&in America it does not make progress: it is progress.”
