Dapitan, 31 July 1895
MY DEAR SRA. MARÍA.
I received your letter and noted its contents. I received all that you sent me. The rice, however, is lacking, as only two sacks were delivered. The tubes are large.
Miss B. is sending you her regards and asks me to tell you that the scissors have been lost. Perhaps on the next boat she would take there the wardrobe which I got back from Capitán Venancio. Of your debtors no one has paid me yet.
Please tell Sr. Pedro that if he cannot come here by October, he had better wait for my message because I may transfer to Ponot.
Don’t send me anything except rice, salt, soap, and postage stamps.
I was able to save the Alferéz, thank God.
They say that Suan scolded the supercargo because of your coming here without your name appearing in the list of passengers. They say you might have brought me some news. Sr. Cipriano got sick here when he came to get your money for freight.
They say Tamarong had died of fever. He left 30,000 in addition to land and houses. Arrieta and Ina Pedro have a quarrel over house-rent.
Please send me a Compendio de Geograffa and tell me how much it costs.
This is all and command me.
RIZAL
P. D. Greetings to Sra. Tikang, Sra. Concha, Sr. Gino, etc.
