  Huapamacato, Michoacan; Mexico May 28-1927- Mr. Maxsimino Torrez Rock Springs, Wyoming My dearest and never forgotten brother

with delight and pleasure I send you these lines to greet you warmly wishing that this letter finds you well, as I am, and with my uncle and his family Thank God.

Brother after greeting you affectionately I let you know that I have in my possession your pleasant letters dated oneon the 29th of last month and the other dated this month. Having read their contents I tell you that the letter you sent to where I was my previous address was brought to me by my aunt Lola and that she brought it open and that everybody received the regards you sent them and about Blas, I will tell him when I see him and give him your address.

And about the other matter I tell you that it’s said around here that they want to make a revolution because the government doesn’t want anything ecclesiastical over there and will tell you that here in the rancho it’s said that the government burned down Acámbaro because they found the garments this is I mean the priests’ cassocks and they were going to execute Eraclio and miss Luisa Magaña too but they forgave Eraclio because they his family he knew someone at the tribunal jail and they couldn’t find miss Magaña if they had found her they would have executed her by firing squad without recourse and I tell you that things are very difficult

About reading learning to read I’m going to apply myself very much to teach myself to read and write to come to you   and about what you say that the letters were returned to you well my uncle just found out the reason they could have been returned because since I’ve been here I see that he goes to the post office quite often.

And my uncle asks you to tell the mayordomo when you see him that he has received his regards and that he sends his in return as well as those from his family to his and tell him that my uncle says that he does want to go and that he will let you know ahead of time and that you give his regards to Eduardo and all the more to my godson Sorria. And my uncle says that when you see Facundo González you ask him if he can send him the $10 dollars and he asks that you give him his address.

brother tell me how are jobs here because over there where we are it’s very difficult to support oneself.

Receive regards from my uncle and my aunt and from Filomena and from my uncle Antonio and his family and from my uncle Crispin and his family and from your brother receive the most sincere affection from him who wishes you one thousand and one thousand more joys in everything your Faithfully yours,
Clemente Torrez
