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.

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