Translation
Filled with great satisfaction, I send this to know more about Your Excellency's health. The baby and I are well, thank God. I very much hope that my dear Tio is also very content. Celestina told me to tell Your Excellency to remember the children's baby carriage. For today, I cannot be more extensive.
May my dear Tio bless us.

Maria José da Silva!
