for receptacles to take leaves away. The gardener said the leaves were too sour to use - & I can believe it - they smell so. Fred - who was cleaning & washing out floors in the interior disagreed - but as there is no room for a compost heap - & I don't dare risk digging them in - out they go - I worked steadily for 2 1/2 hours - & Tom worked part of the time - except when called off for conferences. Oggie came in & he set to it - & cleared some - There are some good flower pots there - & a lot of flat stones which we can use in walks - also a little pool- I haven't dug it out yet - The children used it for sailing boats - about 2 1/2 feet across I think square. Here comes Tom to dine - all cooked - I got in at 5:45 - started dinner - took a bath - cleaned up - We feel very gay & happy over 8th St- have the lease & everything ---  !!! 

More tomorrow - digging is rather fun- 
Much love  Esther
