  Ft. Lupton, Colorado Mrs. Pamela Schubert,

Dear granddaughter, this letter is to greet you, your dad father and your mom mother and everyone else in the family.

Well my child, after greeting you I will tell you the following.

I hope that you are all well, as my wishes are that you are all in good health. We are all well, for which I thank God. I will let you know that it made me very happy to see that your mom and you wrote to me, because you had not written since November. Not your mom or you. Yes, for Christmas I did receive some things that your mom sent us, but not even one line letter from either of you. Well, I feel bad when I don’t hear anything from you. Well, it’s good that you tell me something about Billy Boy, I truly appreciate   that you tell me something about what’s going on with all of you. I hope everything turns out all right, because I always pray for all of you, so that my sweet God will help you, and that the Holy Guardian Angel will keep you and guide you on a good path. But you all have to pray and ask for help too. First to God, through whom we live on this earth. And don’t misbehave with your dad or your mom.

Well, you tell me that he doesn’t want to go to school anymore. Look my little child, I will tell you both allthat in these times pursuing an education is very good because with an education you can get a good job anywhere, earn good money. And without an education you have to work like a donkey and don’t earn anything. Tell him not to let himself be outdone by Kathy. She is in college and has studied for two years already. She says she likes college.

 

well, I’m sending Jane her birthday card here. Give her a hug and a little kiss from me. And for you, receive the heart of your grandparents and our finest regards.

Please answer me, my little child, don’t leave me worried. Jesusita Torres
