An American woman came by with her fifteen year old son. She wanted to see Diego and ask if he could give classes to her son.
I was very pleased with the paper you so kindly sent to me, and which I’m using for the first time today. I send you my thanks and a kiss for doing this. It’s very lovely.
I was so pleased to see the photograph of Diego. It might seem incredible, but I feel a very great affection for him and I’m interested in everything he does. Tell him how much esteem I have for him and that I value him very much. And you, mi niña linda, receive all my blessings, from your mother who adores you–Matilde–
Many greetings to both of you from your Papá–Guillermo Kahlo
