## TRANSLATION I am writing to you to ask you to do me the favor of informing Mr. John Paulbath that I urgently need him to contact me because I want him to send the-passages to me to go (to the U.S.) via Spain. The reason I have taken the liberty of writing is that in November of last year, I wrote to Mr. Paulbath at PO Box 427, Tamiami Station in that city and after almost six months the letter was returned to me with the notation that the address was not registered. Since that time a friend of mine who lives in Los Angeles has been trying to locate him and to date has had no success. Mr. Paulbath sent me a notice informing that the monthly stipend due me (as a result of the death of my husband) per dotal policy 1023, was being deposited in that bank, enclosed is that notice. The last news I had from Mr. Paulbath was in February 1966 when he informed me that on that date the account showed a balance of US $12,518.21. I appeal to your kindness for help, since I have been trying for more than six years since my husband died R.I.P. to leave (Cuba). I almost had all my papers in order to leave when the American Embassy was closed that was two months after my husband had departed (Cuba), later in April of that same year came the Bay of Pigs Invasion and my husband was killed. On 1 June my daughter was born and it was at this time that they began to grant visa waivers, but even though I had the visas I could not leave because I had not been able to get a passport for my daughter since to obtain it they demanded my husband's death certificate and his death was not recorded in any court, I went to all the places it could have been recorded. Then I began to visit lawyers and government offices to find out how I could obtain a passport for my daughter. After much fighting, it was delivered to me at the end of November of last year. I immediately wrote to Mr. Paulbath to ask that he send me the money for passages right away and that was the letter that was returned to me. Since letters from there to here take so long, I request that you tell Mr. Paulbath to send me the money for passages for those indicated below: Concepcion PASTRANA Cernuda (US $154.00) Serafin CERNUDA Garcia (US $308.00) Graciela CERNUDA Fernandez (US $308.00) Maria CERNUDA Fernandez (US $308.00) and also tell him that the money for all should be sent to the following address: Colina #33, Jesus del Monte, Habana, Cuba.
