December 1, 1940

Dear Friends and Comrades:

I must ask that you pardon my long silence. Only a short time ago I finished reading your letters and telegrams in which you share with me the burden of the loss of the one who inspired all our lives. After the death of our son Leon, his father wrote, “There is nothing more for us to lose,” because we always thought that our own death would be together.

On the twenty-fourth of May of this year we were very close to such a death ... three months later I did not have the good fortune to save him, I pass through one more trial, the most difficult of all ...

I thank you deeply for your support.

 

Coyoacan, D.F.
