  Ft. Lupton, Colorado November 20.– 64. Dear daughter,

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

Well, I received Pamela’s letter on the 17th , and I read that you are all well, and she also tells me that her birthday is on November 17. Well, I was thinking of buying her something but I thought better of it, that she should buy whatever she needs now that she is in school. Well, we are sending her, from Max and me, these $5 for her birthday.

Well, I will also tell you that Frances Nolasco is very sad because Tone is in jail. They arrested him because he forced assaulted a girl and he beat her on October 31. And he is in the Greely jail awaiting trial.

Well, I will also tell you that it’s   very cold, a lot of snow.

And Kathy is school in Greely. Jerry hasn’t written, he is like you. What are we to do? If you both don’t want to write, oh well.

Well, I think this will be all for today. Many regards much love for Bill and for all the kids. And jenee Ysabel, what’s going on with her? On other times she writes to me, is she in school already?

Well, may God help you and and us.

God bless you, daughter, as are the wishes of your mother Jesusita B. Torres;
