   Dear and unforgettable friend:

   Now I am addressing you with the purpose of wishing you great happiness, and at the same time hoping that you are enjoying good health, we, all, are good, thanks to God, but we should prefer to see you than to write you, but as we are unable to see each other at least we send you our most expressive regards. I received your kind letter and I am very happy for your kind attention and I want to reciprocate your kindness. Please give my regards to all your family, and you receive many kisses from your friend who does not forget you for a moment, a kiss for Tulita, beg to remain as ever,

   Your friend,

   /s/  Delfina y Carmen Castillo Blanco
