DEAR AND UNFORGEITABLE RIZAL,
Without any letter of yours to answer I write this wishing you as always the joys of good health which I enjoy, thank God.
In one of the letters my brother has written me, which I do not know where it is now, I seem to have read that you are his classmate or you go to his class, or something like that. The thing is, whether it is true or not, I am going to ask you to please tell me if you know something of the conspiracy plotted by the upper class students against one of their professors – I do not know who of them. The case is that we have been told that Eduardo is among them, and as my Papa is anxious to know it, I should like you to tell me, if you are in his class, promising you that I will not tell anyone, the names of all those who are involved in the plot, the reason for the conspiracy, in short all about the case; and if you are not in his class, what you know and what you have heard.
With nothing more then, hoping to receive this favor from you, I remain your most affectionate friend and servant who esteems you,
ENRIQUE LETE.
P. S.
You will receive this letter through Glicerio.
