  Fort Lupton, Colorado June 1, 1965 Dear daughter,

this letter is to greet you all, hoping that you are well.

I will tell you that I am very happy because Pamela is here. But at the same time, let me tell you, why didn’t you let me know beforehand? You know, because I wasn’t expecting them. Jesse told me Sunday morning, when he took me to mass. So what could I do for Monday? The house was all dusty. I do my work, but all of a sudden, like that, well, no I can't clean the house. Let me know at least a week in advance when you are coming for a visit. And let me know if you liked the Mexican shawl that I brought Jane, because Pamela did like very much the Mexican Jacket I brought for her. And also the I think.

Well, thank you for sending me this   girl. I hope this place will not seem too sad for her, just the two of us alone here, because Kathy says she’s still not done with school.

Well daughter, many regards for Jane, and also, tell her you thank you very much for sending me her letters. Jane can write her name, now.

Well, receive many regards much love from all, and from me, the finest regards, Max and me, Jesusita
