Brussels
12 February 1890
MY DEAR NANING,
I was waiting for your letter written at Madrid in order to tell you where I am now living, but as you did not breathe, I thought to myself that you must be still in Barcelona.
My address is at the head of this letter.
I have read your articles and I liked them very much. The name of Pandapira, according to what Trinidad Pardo has suggested to me, can be Panday Pira. It would be very useful if your articles would be gathered and published in a little book
How many books? Have they arrived already?
I am very well here in Brussels. The cost of living here is as low as in Barcelona; the city is more beautiful. I should like to see here the Filipinos who do not know what to do either with their time or money in Madrid.
Why do you not go to Madrid?
Give my regards to all our friends.
If Galicano is still there, tell him that it seems our grandmother Mrs. Basilia Bauson has died.
Regards.
Yours,
RIZAL
