Paris, 27 January 1892
MR. JOSE RIZAL
Hong Kong
DEAR FRIEND,
Although I have not received any letter from you, I have learned all about what is happening to your relatives as well as about your plan to go to Borneo and establish there an agricultural colony. Perhaps, if life in Manila becomes unbearable, we shall meet there in Borneo. We in Paris have a plan of a society also for the welfare of our country. Do not forget to inform us [J. Luna] about Borneo and other things.
Regards from
BAUTISTA[1]
I am not yet returning to our country.
