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 6 of 6)

Tell Papá that everything I tell you and write to you is also meant for him. Tell him I’m sending him lots of kisses, that he shouldn’t be so grouchy, and that he should remember me and write to me. Give my best to Herminia and Chucho.

Pet Shadow often and give poor Monroy the same attention. Don’t chase them out into the street, because I would like to see them again. As for the little yellow kitten, feed it more scraps than the others.

Mamacita, if you see Mr. Magaña, give him my address and ask Kitty to write a letter for him with everything he wants to tell us because he doesn’t know how to write very well. Write to me often. You, more than anybody, know how much pleasure it gives me to receive letters from all of you, and especially from you. So don’t quit writing to me. I’ll write every day if I can. A thousand kisses to Papá, Kitty, “la nena”, and everybody. And for you all my love, your–Frieducha–

P.S. Don’t be sad. Everything is going to be fine with me. Diego is very good to me and besides, I’m going to receive much better medical treatment here than I ever would in Mexico.
