Set out plants and watered lawn with sprinkler. To HH. Cleaned off top of filing cabinet and found things to accession.

Worked in office transferring books to new bookcase. Moved desk to east to make room for lateral file at end by door. So many files to transfer to it and the desk. Watered front lawn. Loaded car with recycles.
To HH. No one in so went through Myers file trying to find Helen Connolly’s handwritten letter about Jacob’s Well. Only saw it once! Took recycles to Sims and met 2 Marys at “Something Good.” Stopped at Office City [sic] on way home to see the lateral file- it isn’t! So I have no complaint. Stopped at B&D yard art on Pole Lane and got a few salvia, portulaca and African marigolds and red geraniums to replace poorly growing areas. Finished “The Silver Chalice” by Castien.
