Letter N°4

25th of december of 1932
Rocket Avenue, 666, Alabama, United States
Dear Franklin:
                Its Christmas time and I didn’t receive any gift. That’s for you to give an image of how’s the economic situation of my family now: HORRIBLE!
            Franklin, the economy is worse than ever, suffering an enormous depression that will probably destroy the rest of the country! And also the political situation is unbelievable: I can’t understand why my parents don’t let me play and even talk with the Negroes!!!
            Franklin, goodbye forever! I can’t continue writing this letter, I can’t continue living…
