Paris, 23 September 1891
MR. JOSE RIZAL
Ghent
DEAR RIZAL,
Yesterday I received your book; today I have just devoured it. Hardly have you begun sending out copies of it and I am already asking you when the third part is coming out.
Please accept my congratulations, my sincere and moving felicitations, and as God has given you talent and energy for it, continue on the path that He has traced for you.
Receive an embrace of your friend and countryman,
TRINIDAD
P. S.
I cannot walk well yet. What do you bet that Barrantes or somebody else will deduce that your book is again printed in Germany?
