Ky dearALL10SRTS):

I have wanted to write to you for aome time but recent eventaadded to former obligationshave occupied all my tiro; butn now emerging from all this, lhe bearer (of this letter) will inform you of purely pereonal matters, unforeseen events, which, however, far from diminishing the interest and enthusiasm in our coanon affaire, are added incentives to continue forward until we reach tha desired goal.

In regard to the campaign and to the tasks of my workers, everything haa been carried out in the best manner, the latit assignment being the painting of thehich has caught on like firo throughout theven little children go along withn their backs and on their bicycles and they paint it where ever they gohallenge to the police who, powerless to pursue and capture criminals, have devoted themselves to capturing those who This propaganda has worried them and 'Jioy concern themselves with it because they considerortentthey iiaoediately threw the blame on CEUA and they connect it with then. Up until this date, they have not been able to discover absolutely anythingo prisoners they have captured. Even little boys have conducted themselves as TRUE ANTI-COWTONISTSj if Ood doas not conmandhall continue on until the end.

He hare had to augment the production of EL HebeIde in repoaje to the demand which the interior of the Republic has made for ii. No.as already been increased0oubt that thla will be sufficient einco ln the capital the acceptance and consequently the demand is now enormoua--whichittle known fact| it. Beams' that the thernoter is going up or perhaps haa arrived at the top. Tbat which has boon most acceptable is the slightly religious tint which ve have given itelieve that lt la necessary at this point to availittle of Religion,whereupon we have presumed upon the proper authorization for this. We have encountered soob obstacles on the part of the police but ve have surmounted them; that which we do indeed desire Is that when the latter Jumpecision tous, it shall be with glory for us and because something has been published which wounded them; for this we only wait for the appropriate order.

The people became very enthusiastic immediately after thoyour manifieato and it is indeed gratifying that in distant places,myself have been able to determine, the peasants, oa being asked ifdisposed to fight, answered with all Bineerlty "yes, when myorders it.it may be said that the people expect

him and have faith in him whom they have chosen freely as their liberator.

Vlth regard to tbeampaign, it Is only proper that you have knowledge of the worthy task undertaken by the different groups of the CEUA and especially by the Antl-Communlat Youth Alliance which at the risk ofpainted the now famous number on the Presidential House and Palace itself*

For purely personalm faced with the urgent necessity of being absent from Guatemala, and in Mexico, for aomeays. My preoccupation ln this matter Is great because of the Incertainty of the events which might take place in my absence and forould never forgive myselfevents which would be the punishment for leaving CEUA leaderless for eorae days; however, beforeo departI will leave everything arranged so that nothing will be disturbed and everything will continue as it has until today.

RAMIRO will explain to you that which Is necessary in regards to our campaign. Of all tho boya,n belonging to our cause, has known how to render services of great import, principally- In the intelligence field.

ake pleasure in receiving yourwait your estimable orders,m as always disposed even to sacrifices for the symbols of our fight! GOD PATSIA LIBERT!.

Your servant and friend. Tin.

P.S. eg ofandshake with all the boys In my name.

of the Filiale

Recently fill ale have been established in the eastern zone of the Republic, particularly in places wherein by reasons of the ideology of the Inhabitants It had been impossible to establish ccemritteesj such is the ease of Puerto Barrioo where, in the beginning, the workers wore affiliated with the official parties.

Mien the scarceneaa of funds has made it possible, nearby filiala have been visited as well as those others which have solicited it. Constant communication has been maintained with the fill ale of the interior by means of circular letters in which they have been instructed to continue in the fight and to work zealously in behalf of Uie cause. The newspaper. El Rebelde, has been sent to them weekly,umber proportionate to the Importance of the filial or to the municipality; this Secretary has been asked to augment

the printing0 copies more In order to cover the demand, for0 printed In the beginning turned out to be insufficient.

Perfect control is exercised over these filials, they being more disposed te work when the Committee thus orders.
