Dear Cyndy,

Into today's 1 p.m. mail, I placed an envelope addressed to you containing
a key to the kitchen (back) door of 174 School Street. I used the Konnarock
return address so as not to lead the postal inspector into temptation. 
The post office does not like rigid objects in letters because they 
interfere with machine processing. If the key doesn't arrive, that's why. 
Please mention receiving the key, if and when.

It would help if you would tell me the approximate dates of your 
arrivals and departures and, as soon as you know, whether Jill will
in fact come along. I have no plans form the next week except to see 
patients and to make the house a bit cleaner. If you will send me a list
of non-perishable groceries, I'll have them for you when you arrive.

Margaret and I are talking about leaving for Virginia in a week, on 
April 16th or 17th, but that seems very uncertain. I have no idea when
we might return, but it's quite possible that we will be here when you
arrive.

I suggest you print out a google map of 174 School Street; it will show
the bus stops at the intersection of Orchard Street and Concord Avenue.
From there its a short walk up Orchard Street past Orchard Circle to
School Street. Turn left on School Street without crossing it. Our house
is the fourth from the corner. The busses which run every half
hour to and from the underground station at Harvard Square are Nos. 74 
and 75. (#74 traverses the east side of Fresh Pond, #75, the west side.)

Avoid parking on School Street. Traffic there is fast and ruthless.
More than one parked car has been demolished (and more than one pedestrian
killed) Be careful. Park in our driveway on the left side of the garage. 
This will give Klemens, Benjamin and Nathaniel access to our blue Dodge 
which will be parked in front of the right side of the garage, and to our 
old green Dodge which is inside the garage on the right side. If you wish 
to park on the street, use Bow Road directly across from us (and be careful 
crossing School Street) But don't keep your car on Bow Road after midnight 
because all night street parking is not permitted.

I'll tell you more about the inside of the house in another e-mail.
Best wishes to you and Ned.

Jochen
