Calamba, Laguna
12 November 1882
DEAR BROTHER,
I received your letter in which you tell me that the allowance you get is not enough for you. From the beginning I realized that with that sum you would be in rather straitened circumstances. I made it so only because our sugar had not been sold yet. Now that there are buyers you will receive what you wish.
Until May or June don’t expect from me long letters as I would like to write. I don’t stay at home except on Sundays to attend to the people. I spend the other days in the mountain. You must not fail to write though, whenever you have an opportunity to do so.
I have not yet gone down to Manila to get the bank draft that you told me about; it will not be long now before I go there.
Here all of us are in good health; cholera cases are very rare.
Olimpia is still in Bulacan.
Your brother,
PACIANO
