Monday 13th. Had 7 of the girls working in the garden at 6 oclk morng as the ground was in such nice working order. but to our dismay, before we had been there 1/2 an hour found more that half the convolvus plucked up, instead of the weeds which were abounding close by. there is a great difference in the girls taste for gardening, it being a pleasure and recreation to some and a trouble to others.
