some cream shrimp
on toast yesterday & it
was sure good. I had no
idea of how to make it but
I took a chance (Columbus
did). I got it write to according
to [drawing of an ant] ant. Elanor.

Al Spear is home
for 5 days or so on his farewell

last night on business
for a week.

Kink got out last night
& I hunted all over. Finally
I found him in the big Oak
tree over the garage. He was
having the time of his life.
I got a step ladder, and climed[climbed]
the roof into the tree, damn
near broke my neck & got
him after 1/2 hrs most delightful
work. I was afraid of Okell's dog.
I am O.K. [so - crossed out] tho, i.e, I didn't
hurt myself. Tell Ma & Pa about
it. Oo. Wo da Mr. Kinkie.

Hoping everything OK & that your[you're] well
With love from all. Jocelyn.
