I find the typewriter affords least check and work on it exclusively.

=William Almon Wolff=: I can keep up with my imagination when I use a

typewriter; I can't with pen or pencil. I can't dictate at all. That is,

=Edgar Young=: Write directly on a typewriter by touch system and

rewrite from another person's reading where I catch many inconsistencies

and change them as I write. I consider composing on a typewriter a very

poor method and wish I had always used a pencil, marking out swiftly

when the wrong word or sentence was put down. This letter is a fair

sample of what I compose at a first draft.
