Liñola 9-2-47
Mr. Gaspar Segura
Dear Dad: The reason for this letter is to answer yours
First of all I have to tell you some bad news, on the 2nd of this month at 2 o’clock at night, mygrandmother Dolores died, that is, your dear mother (R.I.P.). We had already told you in a letterthat she was not very well, but we did not think that she would die so quickly.
Don’t think, Dad, that even though you were absent, we did everything we knew how to do forher, but unfortunately her time has come.
Well dad, although for you it is a very hard blow the death of your dear mother without beingable to be by her side, don’t despair, you won’t get anything out of it either.
We have received the photos of Mari-Jo in which she is very well and you will tell uncle Jaime that my godmother Encarnación has told us to write to her because they have not had a letterfrom him for a long time.
Best regards from all of us and you, dear Dad, receive all the love that your daughter has foryou and she doesn’t forget you
María.
