Sr. Superintendente del Colegio
S. C. M. A.
Muy respetable señor: Ruego a U. se sirva mandarme a decir si puedo volver á respetable mando, pues creo que ha sido bastante severo el castigo que se me ha impuesto y reconosco [sic] lo que yo hice fue un acto de locura pues hoy en dia reconosco que las malas compañías fueron causa que yo saliera de su respetable mando, pues tengo ansias y mucha alegria de volver para su nuevo mando.
Ruego a U. se sirva contestarme tan pronto reciba esta lo cual daré las más [se?] recibas gracias.
Su alumno que le quiere y se despide de U. respetuosamente.
Joseph Albas

Mr. Superintendent of the College
S. C. M. A.
Very respectable sir: I plead of you to please tell me if I can return to your respectable command, as I believe that the punishment that you gave me has been severe enough and I recognize that what I did was an act of craziness and that today I recognize that the bad company I kept was the reason for my leaving of this respectable command, and that I am eager and excited to return to your new command.
I plead that you would answer as soon as you receive this and you receive me thanks.
Your caring student who wishes you goodbye respectfully,
Joseph Albas
