San Rafael del Norte, 5 January 1928.
 
Señor Gregorio Sandino, Managua.
 
Kindly Father-in-law:
 
     Today I received the answer for General Feland, there is hope for Augusto to surrender, these communications are private.  I believe there will be more conferences in my home soon, pray to God, Augusto told me to let you know about this and also to his mother Sra. Margarita, so she will console herself.  I am very glad, because there will be no more blood spilled, thank the Lord for that, and we will be in peace, they all tell me that they cannot write because they don't have time, but they will write at the first opportunity.
 
     Warmest greetings to Sra Margarita and América and my mother-in-law and the rest of the family.
 
     Very Kindly, I am of Yours,
 
                    /s/ Blanca Sandino
