MR. JOSÉ RIZAL
DEAR BROTHER,
We received your letter dated 29 January on the 10th of this month of March and we understand all its contents. Many thanks for the news and your good wishes. We are glad to know that you were able to speak Italian after two months’ study. May God grant that you succeed for your honor and advancement. And don’t expect anything from my schooling, because since the outbreak of cholera, Mother made me stop and I don’t go to school any more.
