Barcelona, 15 April 1892
MR. JOSE RIZAL,
Hong Kong
MY DEAR RIZAL,
I have not received a letter from you for some time. I know nothing about your life or about your work. I’m here struggling with poverty and a gloomy future.
Read my letter to Mr. Basa and you will find out what is happening to me. I ask you to advise me what I should do in my dubious and nebulous situation.
I recommend to you the Association, develop it, and I believe that it will be the center from which something good for our dear Philippines will emerge.
With regards to your family, Laurel, and Mr. Sixto Lopez, your friend who embraces you,
GRACIANO
