  Ft. Lupton, Colorado Dear daughter,

This letter is to greet you all, wishing as always that you may be well, as we are, thank God.

Well, I received your letter several days ago, and you know how time flies.

Well, I will tell you that they finished fixing remodeling Jesse’s house. Now the front room is bigger. They joined the room that used to be Jerry’s and the one that used to be the front room and it’s now bigger.

It’s very nice. They bought a very nice $400 rag rug, they put in new windows and doors, and furniture and a sofa, and everything.   And they put Jerry’s room in the basement.

In the end they decided not to take the new house because it was very expensive, $12,000 twelve thousand pesos.

For me this was good, because I was very sad to see them go. Well, I also wanted to ask you if you want me to send you the my books of stamps from Safeway. I have two, plus the ones that you may have, you can order something for the kids. If you want them don’t take too long to reply, so that I can send them to you before Christmas is here.

It's good I'm happy that you spent a happy birthday. I remembered you all day that day. God bless you daughter. As far away as you are, it’s   I have no way of going to see you. Well, I think this will be all for now. Many regards Much love Warm regards for Bill and Billy boy, and Robert, and Pamela. And for you the finest regards from all of us. Max, Jesse and his family and from me, your mother mom who wishes you well good things in everything.

With much love Jesusita B. Torres
