Translation

  Albuquerque, New Mexico Mrs. Jesusita Barros

Dear comadre, I hope that this letter finds you all well healthy. We are well healthy, thank God. I received your letter last week, but let me tell you that we had the Will Rogers and Highway 66 celebrations. For three days we had a lot of people from out of town, and the parade was so nice, that one tends to fall behind on one’s household affairs with so much going out. They were dressed as cowboys and in styles from yesteryear.

There is a lot of illness here. Everyone has been coming down with the flu. Thank God, we have not gotten sick, not a one.

You tell me that don Faustín didn’t send you the receipts proof of tax payments. He will be embarrassed when he finds out that the taxes are paid.

 

We are going to try to see him some time when we go out, and I’m going to ask him, to tell him that I want to see the tax receipts he has. Let’s see what he tells me.

He often walks by here.

Well, this is all comadre, because Marion is going to school, so she takes the letter. Without further to add, your comadre who wishes you happiness, Felipita N. Baca
