March 14, 1959 Dear daughter

this letter is to greet you, Bill and family,

hoping that you have a new family member by now. I think it will be a little woman, a girl. I’m waiting for you to let us know, and I think you must be waiting for me to reply. Well, you know, I kept going to see the doctor. No, I’m not very sick, but he says that I do have to have the shots, and the pills too.

I hope that you are well and that you are relieved by now that you've already had the baby. Tell Bill to write to us. It doesn’t matter if it’s in English, Jesus knows English, he can read and let us hear from you. I will tell you that there have been many deaths around here. Two were buried in a week. I don’t know if you remember Mr. José Martínez, he died. He is from the field. And Mr. Julián Luján, also from the field and another death, I. Volmar. It seemed like we had just had a wake and a funeral, and then another and another.

There’s been a lot of wind. It looks like it’s going to snow. Helen started to work. They called her about two weeks ago.

How are the kids? Have they gotten sick? There’s a lot of illness around here. Jerry and Kathy were a little sick, but they’re well now, and they’re going to school.

Well, many regards much love for everyone: For Bill, Billy boy, Robert and Pamela, and a hello for the new baby. And for you, with love from your mother and Max Torres Jesusita B. Torres
