Trozo, Manila, 18 October 1887
MR. JOSÉ RIZAL
DEAR BROTHER,
The bearer is Mr. Cenón de Salinas, cousin of Pepay, and carries the book that Tomás brought for you. This gentlemen did not want to accept the cost of the book because he says that he has unsettled accounts with you. Your diploma has not yet arrived; Galicano is trying to get it.
Love to all, kiss the hand of our parents for me.
Your sister,
SOLEDAD
P.S
Enclosed is the letter for Mother. Please tell also any maid to look for my black jusi blouse that is in the wardrobe, because I have no black blouse here. I thank you in advance.
