Muy Sr. mio:

Tengo el gusto de incluirle un giro postal á su órden por $100.00 Cy. que és la cantidad que corresponde pagar por el primer plazo de la instalacion en esa Academia de mi hermano Francisco Alba y Gomez de la Maza.

Perdone que haya yó tardado tantos dias en enviarle este dinero, pero ha sido debido á que estaba esperando que mi referido hermano me contestase una carta que le escribi preguntándole á nombre de quien tenia que mandar el giro.

Me repito de Ud. atentamente á sus órdenes

José Perpiñán

My very good sir:

I have the pleasure of including a money order to the order of $100.00 Cy. which is the quantity that corresponds the payment for the first term of the enrollment of my brother Francisco Alba y Gomez de la Maza in the Academy.

Pardon me for sending the money several days late, as I was waiting for my brother to reply to a letter I wrote asking my brother for the name of who to send the money order to.

I repeat that I am at your service,

José Perpiñán
