What happens
Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, the Summerfield water commissioner, sends a letter to customers inviting comments on the water service and enlists his young friend Leroy's school teacher, Grace Tuttle, to help him with his monthly report. Meanwhile, Gildersleeve's friend Leila Ransom expects dinner and attention, and the mayor is pressing for the report to be finished. The Great Gildersleeve is a radio comedy series, and this episode aired on NBC on March 4, 1953, with Harold Peary and Willard Waterman among the cast. Gildersleeve's plans grow complicated as the evening's work and social arrangements collide.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
