A miserable day. I went down to Betty’s. She cleaned her cellar. In p.m. Bill and I went to town and over to see Jean. She isn’t at all good. She didn’t know anyone very well. Stan was there. We saw Gordon and Sal down town. Gordon is made power of attorneys of Jean’s estate. He is to look after her bills etc.
