Translation

  3,-jan,-1953 My dear daughter this letter is to greet you and your children, hoping you all are well, like we thank God..

Well daughter, I hope that you had a good Christmas, and a happy new year with your Your parents in laws;

We, here, Jesus came for us that day and brought us over to his house to eat. I didn’t even go to mass that day because it was too cold, and there was a lot of snow. Well, we went to eat with Jesus and after noon we watched television. Jesus has a television and my comadre Felipita gave me some stockings, an apron, and Helen gave me a nightgown and Jesus some slippers of the kind you put on in the morning.

Betty sent me a set with a sugar bowl and a salt shaker, and another for the pepper; very cute; they’re nice.

Well daughter, for several days I’ve been meaning to ask you how the pictures came out. The ones you took when you came and we went to Denver and we took our picture in the City Park; did they come out well or what happened in the end? And tell me how you are, I dreamt of you last night, that you came by car, by yourself, your hair all undone, red eyes as if you had been crying.

In the dream I talked to you, I told you, ‘What’s wrong with you, Santos?’

 

and you responded, ‘Nothing, nothing’s wrong’, And I asked you, And the Babe, Robert?’ And you told me,

‘He’s at Mrs. Schubert’s’ And I asked you, ‘Why is he there?’ And you told me, ‘I’m paying her to take care of him’. And I saw you, you looked like you were crying and I told you, ‘Your face looks swollen. Your eyes look red’,

and you answered, ‘It’s because of all the crying I do’, and I woke up desperate, asking the Virgin to help you, asking that she cover you with her holy mantle. And that you may be loved by your in-laws, and that you don’t go further away from me

 

over there where you say Bill is. Further and further away it seems you all are going. Well, tell me everything. How you have been, how things are with your kids, if Bill writes to you, and if he sends you money; I think about things a lot I worry a lot. Well daughter, may God help you, those are my wishes. And when you have a problem of any kind tell me, and maybe I can help out somehow.

Much love Many regards for Bili boy, and Robert, and the baby and receive the finest warmest regards from us. J. Helen, Max, and your mom, J.B.T
