Another very nice spring day. I cooked, washed windows etc. Bill over to Fryeburg and Twitchell’s at Norway. Jet didn’t come home, Betty found him downtown. Billie and Dennis went after him. It is Jet no more. He was a very intelligent and very nice clean looking dog. I liked him very much. He is buried down here in the woods. Raymond over here all A.M. Don’t look very good.
