  page 1. Ft. Lupton Colorado September 17, 1962. My dearest daughter,

this letter is to greet all of you; wishing that you all are well, as we are, thanks to our loving God, who is so good.

Well, after greeting you all I will tell you next that I had company the other day. Aurelia came, and this time she came in the morning and stayed until the evening. I was very happy. And she told me that she’s coming on September 28, because she says she’s leaving for Albuquerque, NM. She told me that Tea is coming. You know, her name is Dorothea, but they call her Tea, and her husband, and Frances, and Aurelia, They are coming to take her to NM.

And I will also I tell you that   page 2. Jerry wrote. Not to me, but to Helen and Jesse. Helen says that he sends her very sad letters, that they make him do the dishes, that they scold him a lot and even kick him, but Jess says that it’s because he doesn’t do as he is told, and that’s why they make him do dishes. And he Jerry says that there are many dishes. That they put him to work in the morning, about 8 am, until about 3 pm in the afternoon. And for him, who is so lazy, it feels like it’s a big sacrifice.

Well, I will also tell you that there are no tomatoes left. Only the few that survived under other plants, so we were left without tomatoes. Well not me, because I have some from last year, but not much

  page 3

Well, I will tell you also about the social security document. Jesús wrote to the Census. You know, the 1930 census. He had to send in $4.00 because they charged to look in the book. We’ll see what happens.

Oh, and I will also ask you to tell me what Billy boy wants for his birthday saint's say It’s October 2 isn’t it? You tell me.

Well daughter, well I think this wil be all for now. Many regards Much love to the kids from us and also from Jess and his family, and from Max. And from your mom, who loves you and who wishes you all much happiness. Receive my blessings, from your mom Jesusita B. Torres.
