Dear Bernie
How are you, I hope your fine and in good condition while receiving my letters.
Thank you for your trust, being my friend and giving me a chance to be your joint account partner.
Your shoes, face towel and a mug from Mike I put in a safe place so that if you return in the Philippines I can give it to you.
I'm happy because I'm very much appreciate while I received a withdrawal from Joe that you request him to put my name in the withdrawal form, thank you for that.
Sorry to know that while you are in Manila getting a picture of "tuli" in QC [Quezon City] you got a problem there, I'm wish[ing] I was there so that I can defend you - . . . just allowing them to get a picture, like what I did in the Cailles General Hospital in Pangil.
By the way, how is your health? I hope you [are] taking your medicine, specially your medicine in high blood.
About Mel: don't worry about him. He is okay living with Nanay Josie, about the allowance you [have] given, he is the one who manage[s] it with the help of Anagel.
Now Nanay Josie was working in Fereras [fast food cafe] but she still want[s] to go abroad.
About Mac-mac: he is okay for now with cement on his [broken] arm. The doctor will check Mac-mac['s] arm on the 1st Sat[urday] of the month of July, to know if it is okay and back to normal.
I never put a[ny] excess money on our savings, I decide to give to Mac-mac for his school supply because he don't have any school supply that time, I hope you understand.
Sorry Bern, I cannot put money in our saving this past few weeks because Jovs was sick sometimes, he cannot go for work, so I use the money from the shop for our daily expenses and also for buying medicine for him. I hope you understand our situation.
Take care always,
Your Friend,
Tina.
