Translation

I write you this letter to let you know that your mom died recently. I haven’t written before because I’ve been very ill myself and I couldn’t find your address. I’ve also written to Demecio, who knows if he will come or not. Your mom asked me to write to all of her children. I need a little bit of your help to defend myself from your half brother Jesus. If you can’t come for some reason, please write to me. I’ll also tell you that Jesus thinks that he is believes himself to be acts like the only son, and he is not. Your mom had more than 1000 pesos and he took it all. My brother Clemente was going to come is going to come   And, with you all’s help, let’s see how we can fix solve this. I am very ill and can’t walk. I’m here with the man who takes care of me, because I can’t do anything by myself.
