Translation

  Ft. Lupton, Colorado Dear daughter,

this letter is to greet you and your husband, and all the kids.

I received your letter dated January 20th, and was happy you wrote to me, even if it’s only once in a while.

We’ve been well, thank God. I’ve been alright, I thank God.

Well, we’ve also had a lot of snow here. Well, I will tell you that I don't see Frances very often, but I will give her your regards your love when I see her. I will also tell you that they’ve had trouble, as they say. About a month ago Alberto, Mrs. Nolasco’s son, you know, they’re two brothers, José and Alberto. Well, Alberto killed his wife. He shot her three times right there at home. They picked her up and took her to the hospital, but they say she was dead when she got here, so they are very sad. And she left behind a family of five And she left behind five kids. And I will also tell you that the doctor says that it’s not good to go around without a brassiere, you know, Max calls it tittie covering.

I had some knots on my chest and the doctor tells me that I should always use a brassiere. I’m telling you because sometimes you go without an presser brassiere. The doctor says that when you grow old, like I am now, one gets ailments in the breasts, that the veins and the nerves get knoted and hurt a lot. But now I’m rested I've rested.

Well, they called Helen back to work but she didn’t want to go anymore. For me it was better, because she takes me everywhere. Even if she is Despite the fact that she is   So quiet, she turned out to be a very good daughter in law. Well, she took me to Longmont to have those X rays taken, becuase I didn’t feel well. I didn’t know what it was, but my breasts hurt, so they told me that the veins and the nerves get knoted. So now I have to wear a presser brassiere.

Well, I will also tell you that Jerry has his license to drive the car and goes out everywhere.

Well, daughter, I think this will be all for now. Many regards Much love for the kids, and everyone, for Bill, and say hello to the baby for me. For you, regards love from your mom Jesustia B. Torres 814, Pacífic ave ft Lupton colo.
