Translation

  Ft. Lupton, Colorado Dear daughter,

This letter is to greet you all, hoping as always that you are all well, as are my wishes. We are well, thank God.

Well, I will tell you that I was a little ill, with high blood pressure but now I’m very well thank God. First thanks be to God and then to Helen, who was very active in taking me to the doctor.

I appreciate her so much. When you see her like that, she seems so quiet, doesn’t visit me often, but if there is something urgent she is very good, and because she knows how to drive the car, nothing stops her. Well, I don’t know what happened to me. I was feeling very well, and then suddenly I started to feel weak, without strength, sleepless, without desire to eat anything.   and Cathy came and I told her that I was feeling a little ill, and she told Helen and she took me to the doctor. We’ve had so much snow that it was very cold and I didn’t want to go, but she told me let’s go to the doctor to find out what’s wring with you.

Well, he said I had my blood pressure was 220, which was high, and he gave me shots and pills. Thank God, today he told me that I had my blood pressure was150, and that that was normal for my age. He told me to go each week so he could give me the shots. Now I’m well.

I will also tell you that Greece and Roy and another two people were in a wreck. Greece cut her forehead and Roy didn’t, he was only hurt in his arm and his chest, but not a lot. After a week he went back to work. Jesse says that he was very scared, that he shuddered every once in a while.

I am happy, daughter, that you are well, and that Bill is good with you   thank God, may he help you. He is a good man.

Well, daughter, don’t take too long to reply. I am always worried about you.

Many regards Much love to Bill, and all the kids. Give them Our regards Our love, so they may remember us, so that they may love us feel affection for us. Teach Billy to write to Jerry, so that they become used to introduce each other know contact each other. On February 12 it’s Helen’s saint’s day birthday. Send her even if only a birthday card. Well, daughter, I think that this will be all.

Warm regards from Max and Jesse and Helen and the kids. And from your mother finest regards much love Jesusita B. Torres;
