Manila
30 June 1890
MR. JOSÉ RIZAL
Brussels
DEAR UNCLE:
This is the second time that I’m writing you and I wish to tell you again that my brother and I are studying here in Manila. I know now how to add whole numbers; I know by heart half of the geography book, Spanish grammar, religion, Christian Doctrine, and urbanity. The teacher told me to prepare well so that when I enroll at the Ateneo Municipal next year, I could be admitted to the upper class. César also will enroll the following year. We are in good health and we wish you the same. Your nephew kisses your hand.
ARISTEO UBALDO
P.D.
Did you receive our group picture with César?
