  Juchipila, Zacatecas November 22, 1939 Mrs. Elivoria Flemate. My dear sister,

I hope that this letter finds you without news, as I am, and together with your loved children, this is my wish for you.

I now proceed to tell you that it’s quite expensive to send clothing from the border. It would be better, if you’d like, to send me the money so that I can buy my dress here, it will be the same thing. Sister, I think that my brother is no longer at the place from which he was recently writing, because my letters are being returned. If he were to write to you I would really appreciate it if you give me his address right away so that I can communicate get in touch with him, because I am the guarantor of a loan he took out from mister Pascual Posos for the amount of four hundred and some pesos. This loan is now due, and mister Pascual has tried to collect, and I, hoping that Demetrio sends money, asked him to wait until next January. So I beg you, do me the favor of sending me his address as soon as you have it, because I really need to it's urgent that I communicate with him.

Give my regards to your children and receive the regard and love of your sister, who truly appreciates and does not forget you. Guadalupe Flemate
