Dear Craig:
Here I am with another of my silly letters. This letter leaves me in the best of health, hoping this letter will find you happy and living an easy life.
Craig, there isn't very much that I can say at the present time. One thing that I'll try to do is to take Richard Rowe and our friend Ramirez back home. I believe you know Richard Rowe—if not, just check up on your records. I hope to find these two boys in the near future.
That's all for this time. Salutations to the whole town, including the honorable police force. Adios. Craig, hasta la vista.
Always your friend,
T/5 FRANCISCO Y. PORTILLO
