Brussels, 20 July 1890

(Mr. Marcelo H. del Pilar)

43 atocha, Madrid, Espana)

MY FAVORITE FRIEND:

Enclosed you will receive the continuation of the “Indolence of the Filipinos” including the power of attorney brought by our friend Serrano concerning the petition for quashing to the Supreme Court.

I am enclosing my brother’s letter.[1] Read them all well and perhaps I may go there within this month. Do not show to others my brother’s letter. Just let me know If I am needed there at once. They say that the term is 60 days beginning 2 June. Present it then immediately, and I will relieve you afterward.

I enclose also the corrected proofs of “Indolencia.” Can we publish it like Barrantes? Only I request you to take care of the correction; it seems that the compositors are a little careless. I will help you when I got there.

Do not tell anybody that I am coming; I do not want anyone to meet me. I hope I will find Naning[2] there. It would not be surprising if Serrano comes with me.

Read carefully my brother’s letter.

Is there some place where I can stay?

This is all

Your article on politics is good.
