Alzira sent this letter to Antonio advising him on the immigration process to get into the United States.

My Dear Antonio:
I hope you are enjoying perfect health, as well as our girl, and the family, I am happily in perfect health;
I will send you the age certificates, they are no longer accurate here, and they may be useful there to deal with your documents, which of course you should be notified there by the American Consul in a short time, and in case you are not called by him, go to the consulate, I will also send you a letter that I received here from the Immigration advising me that the petition to be sent there must be passed to the visa, it was approved here, and sent there to the American consul, so that he can deal with the matter there, so you wait some time, and in the event that you do not receive any news from him, you should take care to find out what is going on there, and you can even take these papers with you, which I sent you, so that they know that everything is approved here.
With this I have nothing more to say to you, give my regards a lot to our whole family, and many kisses to our girl, and receive a hearty hug from your wife who wishes you a thousand happiness.
Alzira
