Comrade president of the “Ateneo Racionalista” Castellón
Distinguished comrade, greetings: today the reason for this letter is to ask you to do me a small favor for which I will be very grateful.
As all the old comrades of the Ateneo know today when our dear libertarian center was located in the street of González Chermá in the early days of its foundation in Castellón, I was one of the first members of the Ateneo, giving to all the comrades in the year 1931 – 32 a course on Rationalist Philosophy, a course that at that time and despite being at the beginning of the Ateneo was quite crowded and lively. All the old colleagues remember me perfectly well.
Well, I would like to take advantage of you, comrades in anarchy, and ask you to give me a certificate stating that I gave you this course, or a certificate that I need to take charge of some classes in different rationalist schools in this capital.
I suppose you will not have any inconvenience in doing me a thing that in justice corresponds to me, especially being a comrade the one who asks it to you that helped you in your tasks of training of the Ateneo and that now, continues fighting as always under the auspices of our glorious and never enough well-loved C.N.T. and F. A. I.
If it seems to you well you could make the certificate that I ask you according to the attached model, when you have it, which I hope will be soon, send it to me to the following address: Francisco Navarro – Union of Liberal Professions C.N.T. – (section Teachers) Subsection of Doctors and Graduates – Paseo de Gracia 35 – 1st Barcelona.
I hope that you will at once shake off the dullness of Castellón by kicking out all those bourgeois disguised in the Old Casino and putting the flag of the F.A.I. at the top of the bell tower.
You know that I am entirely at your disposal. Health and anarchy.
Francisco Navarro Roig
I think it would be more convenient to send the letter to my home address, which I include in the card, since, given the many dependencies of the union, the letter could be lost.
