ANTONINO LÓPEZ
MY DEAR TONINO,
The family arrived here and I only regret that Ikang did not come along. I have many lanzon trees with many fruits. Emilio arrived well; let us see if he will get cured.
Our family will go around my lands this afternoon which they have not yet visited. If they like them, then they will write home by the next mail and we shall see if Ikang and the rest of the folks would come.
Please tell our father that he will like it here very much because I have good water and a good view of the sea.
Tell him also to please give ₱35 to Mr. Julian Borromeo. I do not write more because I’m very busy with the family.
Love to all.
I must give special thanks to my two sisters for so many good things. I regret deeply what is happening to Pepito.
I advise Mang Hino not to eat anything else except pure vegetables, vegetables and vegetables only.
Love to all.
