Jimmy Carter shoots cat, confesses, flees country
I saw this letter yesterday in the Athenaeum, a private library and document collection in Eufaula, Alabamajust over the river and around the way from Jimmys home in Plains, Georgia. Its addressed to his sister-in-law Sybil Carter, Billys widow.
5/13/90
To Sybil,
Lamentably, I killed your cat while trying just to sting it. It was crouched, as usual, under one of our bird feeders & I fired from some distance with bird shot. It may ease your grief somewhat to know that the cat was buried properly with a prayer & that Ill be glad to get you another of your choice.
I called & came by your house several times. We will be in the Dominican Republic until Thursday. Ill see you then.
Love, Jimmy
Firearms safety, people!
