June 28, 1930  Mr. Juan Venegas  Guadalajara, Jal. Mexico  Dear Dad:  With great joy we receive all the letters that come from all of you, and so we have read your  letter dated the 21st of June which I have the pleasure of answering. Regarding the first point in  your letter I tell you that I received a letter from that person who lives over there asking me if I  would consider selling the pasture from the ranch, I believe he probably refers to the time  comprising the present month to December, which is six months. I don't know how much to ask  for and so would you like to suggest what it should be since you are closer to the actual  circumstances; I'm thinking of asking for one hundred pesos. What do you think? In pesos, it is  understood.  We're happy to hear about the boys' work, it is gratifying to know that they progress in spite of  everything else. It is fitting to remember that after the storm comes the calm, and God Our Lord  is a good Father.  Lola says for you not to pay attention to the donkey's hair when it is seen rearing, that she would  very much like to be over there, and that we often remember everything over there and more so  during this time, but I pray to God that our return may become a reality in the near future; for  now nothing can be said, perhaps within a year or maybe five or ten years will go by or we may  even die here, who knows. For now we invite you to come over so we can all go to the beach for  a swim during this time which is the hot season. So let’s see what you can do so you can come  over now that Mr. D. Silviano says he is coming, which I doubt he will. Right? Come soon so we  can all go visit Sor Gabriela [Soledad] since not even I who is nearby have been able to go, but I  am waiting for you to come so we can all go in my jalopy, there are very fine roads that are a  pleasure to drive on, and they go all along up the coast to San Francisco which is also a port. And  when you return to Mexico, you can take a couple of boys to accompany you and then later you  can just send them back by express, and if not then keep them so that being educated in that  environment they serve the purpose of pulling the rest of their brothers and us in that direction  more quickly; because it is a pity that as they grow up they not receive a Mexican education, that  is along good Mexican ways; this is what I regret the most, because later on, not having known  their country, they will not be able to love it and much less those having been born here who  automatically become citizens of this country. For the time being, it is understandable.  We are beginning to save towards the $150.00 needed to buy that little lot, tell me if it is within  the city, with sidewalks and all, it may be worth building a little house in case at any given  moment one can go there and have a place to stay."},{"label":"Is Part Of","value":"Venegas Family Papers, Collection Number 99, Series 1.

I don't remember if you had already told us about Da. María, may she rest in peace, thus often  we have been finding out about many others who have for one reason or another ceased to exist.  Today we found out about D. Pedro Gutierrez. Please let me know what happened.  It is truly a pity that Lucita cannot remain there with you, so that she could receive a suitable  education, but what can be done, when it cannot be, it cannot be.  Your namesake, Juanito in spite of his almost two years is very small, but he is very quick for  everything and he only gives trouble when the rest of the boys are home. Whenever he is alone at  home he is not bothersome, and sometimes when he is alone half a day, he takes out all the  clothes and gets everything down that he can, he then plays and finally goes to sleep on top of  everything; he isn't used to pampering and he has become accustomed to do whatever the others  do, they alone take care of what needs to be done, since it is understood that Lola, besides her  domestic work has to take turns with me at the store, which after God has become our parachute  in this country where Mexicans are made to work up to twelve hours daily and in badly paid  jobs, that is if they can find one. After a week's work one feels exhausted and there are many that  end up crazy or in the hospital. This of course doesn't happen to everyone, but in general it  happens to most of those who come here without any preparation or resources other than their  desire to find work.  I have just received a letter from my uncle Santiago Cárdenas, in which he tells me that not  having been able make a living in that little town he has gone to live in Mexico City, as you  probably already know. And he also updates me on their project for a good business that some of  those on the land intend to start in town, so if successful they can return and settle there  indefinitely. I hope it works out for them; it will be a relief for many poor people.  The 24th is your feast day and surely your birthday as well, and for that reason we all wish you  the very best and we ask God to grant you many more years of life and enjoyment of good  health.  Enough for now, and until the next one. You know we all anxiously wait to hear good news from  you. May you all be well, this is our desire, and may you receive our affectionate regards.
