Letter from Frida Kahlo to her mother Matilde Calderón de Kahlo, November 10, 1930 Letter from Frida Kahlo to her mother Matilde Calderón de Kahlo, November 10, 1930 (page 5 of 6)

…right now I’m going to eat.

Linda: I’m suffering from so much inflammation that I haven’t gone out at all today. It must be the result of such a long trip.

Dr. Eloezer (sic) is coming to see me today at five thirty. Diego wants me to see him about my back problems. By tomorrow, the swelling is sure to be gone and from then on I will be receiving injections regularly. The doctor is very friendly. I met him yesterday. He speaks the old style of Spanish very well and he’s very intelligent. I’ll write you later to let you know how I’m getting along with him.

I haven’t seen the Lunas yet. We’ve been so tired and I haven’t felt like doing anything. I’ll probably look them up tomorrow. I’ll be telling you all the details I’m forgetting now, little by little. Write to me please and tell me everything.

How is Papá? Is he working? Tell me everything. Whatever I can send you, I’ll send immediately. Also, tell me about Kitty and “la niña linda.” How are they? I want to know every little thing you are doing, detail by detail.

I’ll write Mati and Adri separately. I’ll also write to Aunt Bela and Carito, to Grandma and to everybody else.
