Bocay, January 4, 1928.
Dear Don Abram,
I received letters from my uncle written on the
25th of December, from the foot of curious.
He gave me the glad news that Lewis was alive
and well. Some one of his mozos came and
told him that they had left Lewis in Bilway
about the 10th of Dec., that he was awfully
thin, owing to his illness, but was then
entirely better. Don Abram poor old Don
Marcelino was killed here on the 30th of
December. Manzanans was down at Modesto's place,
raising hell with everybody. Marcelino
went to bring up Modesto, when Manzanans jumped
on him, wounding him in several places.
Marcelino shot him, and returning his wounds
with his machete, as it was dark no one could
interfere. When a light was lit both of
them were dead. Marcelino had his left
bust split open.
Be good to yourself father Abraham, and come
quick. Miguel is here but will be leaving
again on the 15th. Everybody sends their
best regards.
Your friend as ever,
/s/ M. A. Thompson
