From the days in prison, we have some notes written by the religious sisters. The first ones, written in pencil, are probably from Josefa.
Yesterday, Friday, we made the first statement, and all they asked us about was regarding the convents, the time we joined, and our way of life, among similar things, but you have to go back—we’ll see, don’t say anything.
We also asked the guards, please, to let Felicidad and the mother go out to the garden to get some fresh air. And they went out with the guard and spent some time together. The guard is kind, and I had a good time, and the mother is in better spirits.
Last night, as we were about to have dinner, three young men showed up, one of them a son of the village, and he confronted the mother. He asked if she was the president of the Conference and said he was there to demand an explanation for everything. The mother told him what she knew, but he wasn’t satisfied and said so-
me words that upset the mother greatly, as well as us, and we ended up not eating. He said he would return to learn more. I’m telling you this so that you can see if something can be done to prevent them from coming back to bother her, as the mother is not in a state to handle such distress. We will also ask the local corporal here to see if he can stop it.

Friday 23rd of October 1936.
We made the first statement, and all they asked us about was regarding the convents, the time we joined, and how we served, along with similar topics. But they need to return—we’ll see, don’t say anything.
We also asked, when leaving, for them to please allow my mother and Felicidad to come out of the room to get some fresh air and sunlight. They went out with the guard, spent some time together with him, and he is kind. I had a very good time, and the mother is feeling much better.
