  Ft. Lupton, Colorado July 4-1958 Dear daughter,

this is to greet you all, wishing as always that you are all well, as we are too, thank God.

Well, I got your letter and was happy to see you sent photos. How pretty, they all came out quite well. Thank you for writing daughter it had been a while since you last wrote.

Well, today is the fourth of July and I didn’t go anywhere because my leg is hurting a little. I’m going to the doctor; he’s giving me shots, I feel quite well with the shots.

 

I thank God that Billy boy is well now;

you tell me that he has to go swimming to swimming classes;

how is Bill doing? You write so little. How is your mama mother in law doing? I hope she is better.

Well daughter, you tell me you are coming, do write me three or four days ahead of time, you know, at least so I can have the house clean. You also ask me what I need for my birthday;

you know, what I would like is a winter nightgown that I’m needing. If you can, if you cannot, I am happy with you all coming for a visit, hopefully for a month;

  Well, receive my regards for all of you. I hope you come soon, before the flowers are gone. Your mom Jesusita B. Torres
