Translation

  Albuquerque N. Mex. Mrs. Jesusita Baros

My very dear comadre, I hope that this letter finds you well. We are in good health, thank God. After greeting you comadre, I will tell you that we did as you asked us and went to the courthouse to ask if your taxes were paid. But comadre, you didn’t tell us under which name it the property was. I told Eduardo to ask under the name Jesusita Rodrigues, because I think that’s the name under which you ran here the name you used here. He first went to where they assess them, because this is the last month to have them assessed. He asked under Jesusita Rodrigues and they didn’t find you, and he went to the Jasasinos Tasasinos and they couldn’t find you either. He gave the number address of the house in which you lived, 8162 N. Arno, and it’s Faustin Villanueva where that house is at and Faustin Villanueva is listed for that address. They told him there that he had to bring the return in order to know who you were, so they could find you. When they assess a property they give you a yellow piece of paper. Send us that paper. They call it a return. Or any document that proves that you have paid your taxes. Send it here to us

 

We did what we could, but for other people, without a piece of paper document they don't won't can't find you. Maybe it’s because they don’t want to bother. You know how bad the people at the courthouse are. But we are here to act on your behalf to help you, comadre. Just send us word of the name under which it your property is registered, or any document that you have. Don’t neglect this, comadre, because they say that if you fall behind on your taxes for three years you lose your property.

Don Faustin had to have sent you proof that he paid the taxes. Don’t believe him or lend him money. He is working and healthy, and has other people to whom he can ask for money other than you. He told us here that he was doing well with his family, and that he had stopped drinking. Nobody is living in the house in which you lived. We were very happy to find out through Chuy’s letter that you drive the car and keep chickens and rabbits. Well, I hope you are all happy comfortable well

With this I close my letter, waiting for your reply to complete your request. Without further to add, your comadre who wishes you happiness. Mrs. Felipita N. Baca 1006 1/2 N. Arno st. Albuquerque, NM.
