    Default draft and redraft

    can somebody help me to translate this sentence:

    "In dressing-gowns, on the floor at the end of the bed, the two elegant figures drafted and redrafted a note to Edward Heath."

    "En el piso, al pie de la cama, las dos elegantes siluetas, en bata, escribían y reescribían una carta para Edward Heath".

    Your translation is fine as I see it. It only sounds awkward because you have too many commas. How about this?

    "En el piso y al pie de la cama, las dos elegantes siluetas en bata escribían y reescribían una carta para Edward Heath".
