AEDSNN, Jinotega, C.A., Campamento 'Las Cuchillas', 30 April 1930

 Sra Maria de Altamirano, Campamento 'El Consuelo'

  I have the pleasure to write you now, wishing that when this letter reaches you you are enjoying good health in company with all the family. We are all well without any trouble. I send you with the bearer, Maximo Granados, the following: some relics of Saints and some scapularies, the scapularies are seven (7); 10 medals and a pair of small combs for Gabina [Victorina], which Chano [Encarnacion] is sending for her. The medals and the scapularies are to be distributed among the family. I also send you a cheese and a cake. Chano sends you a towel to be kept in a wardrobe. Receive many regards from Pedro and Chano, also from me. Montenegro sends a dressing-gown for Melecio, and Pedro Ramon sends a hat to be kept. I also send you C$70 to be kept or for the urgent needs you might have. I send for Melecio 4 cartridges cal. 44. Even though I tell you in this letter that I am sending you C$70, they are not seventy but C$150. I told you 70 by mistake.

   This money is on account of the amount detailed as a contribution from Senor Juan Palacios, he still owes the sum of C$150. Don't make a mistake as it is a bill of C$100 and the other one is a C$50 bill. In this letter I tell you that I am sending you all of this with Lieut. Granados, but that is not true, I am sending you all of this with the compañero Avelino Rodriguez. We repeat our regards, and Montenegro, Morales, and Rizo send their regards for all the family.

   That is all I say and I wish you every kind of happiness, meanwhile I can go there to help you out. Yours,

   Patria y Libertad /s/ Pedro Altamirano. 

   P.D. If you get a chance to buy some pistol ammunition, give Chon or Melecio C$50 to buy them. Vale.
