Letter N°3

7th of April of 1931
Rocket Avenue, 666, Alabama, United States
Dear Franklin:
            There’s a lot of time since the last time I wrote you a letter. It’s because the economic situation of my family is worse than ever!! I don’t have money to buy a pencil and even a paper, sorry Franklin.
 Well, I’m writing to you now to refer about the horrible thing that just happened about 1 week ago: My father take me out of the school in which I was here in Alabama!! They don’t have money to pay it because my dad continue unemployed, and also it’s full of Negroes that I’m sure that one day will punch me.
Please, ask your parents if they have any job for my dad! I’m really scared because he had been unemployed since more than 1 year ago…
Good bye Franklin, please answer this letter early because probably in two months I would be living on the streets…
