Querida Clara

When this letter reaches you, I will no longer exist.
And although mom will explain to you why I am not here,
you must know that I have lived every moment of my life
with great honor and pride, always faithful to my ideals.
I was not a coward, I did not steal from anyone, I fought relentlessly until the end.
And I died facing the enemy.
If I had a hundred lives, I would give them all to defend the Republic.
I do not believe that Fascism will prevail.
But if the evil of the Falangists overpowers reason,
never help my murderers,
show no mercy,
for they show none towards us.
At some point, you may learn of all the atrocities they have committed.
I only ask that you take care of mom, your uncles, and your grandparents.
Look out for your brother, do not fight amongst yourselves, try to help him, and may he always help you.
Health and happiness, my last thoughts will be with you
