Dapitan, 18 December 1895
MY DEAR SISTER SRA. LUCÍA,
I have seen your daughter’s letter and I note that they are progressing. It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good. The troubles in Calamba[1] brought about your daughter’s education.
If I do not leave this place, Teodosio, Tan, Emilio, and Moris can come.
Your brother who loves you,
JOSÉ RIZAL
[1] He refers to her eviction by the Hacienda de Calamba
