Split 6 of May 1950.
My dears!
I wrote to you a month ago and send the letter as registered. I presume that you got my letter and I wonder why are you not answering. I am surprised about Jakov why is he not answering, because the rest of you don’t know me. But I am disappointed in Jakov for not answering.
We are cousins, closest after brothers and if you take into consideration how our parents were close maybe closer then any family in Dalmatia then you cannot forget that at least I can’t.
So Jakov, I ask you to answer on my letter that is my wish. Remember that I was the only one to see you off when you went to America, I walked with you from Sinj to Split and back as a thirteen-year-old boy. That what I asked of you before you left you didn’t do that is why I think that at least I deserve an answer from you. Maybe even more because you left 30 years ago and no answer from you. I hope I will get an answer.
Love brother Ante
