translator - of other books?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I believe that the original intent was for the original ms left behind 
to have come backward through time-bending architectures along with 
other artifacts into G.W.'s hands; doubtless they are the buildings he 
mentions photographing.
