User-Contributed Transcription Globe, Arizona, July 16th 1889Dear brother CarlosMy delay was caused on account of Mr. Arana having sent the letter which you wrote, to an acquaintance of his named Archie McIntosh, who lives on the San Carlos Indian reservation, so that he would send "send" above line for our mother and have her answer all the questions which you wrote and wished me "me" above line to answer. So you will find them enclosed with this, and I think they are very satisfactorily answered, and all is now a fact regarding our relationship and you are my dear brother. Mother by answering all your questions reminded me of things that had escaped my recollection. According to mother's statement I must be about 36 years of age and you two years younger. I enclose you a short letter written you by my daughter Mariana; its her first attempt at letter writing--she is past ten years of age.I was raised by a Mexican lady who lived in Florence, Arizona, who is "who is" above line and "and" crossed out still is there.
