My point, darling, is that cluttering your brain with ugly thoughts makes a woman ugly. Fill your mind with beautiful thoughts, surround yourself with beautiful things, listen to beautiful
music, read beautiful poetry, and you too will become even more beautiful and graceful and irresistible.
I am sending a dress for you made by Natasha Romoff. I found the peacock-blue cloth in Escolta, and it reminded me of your eyes. The sinamay came all the way from Iloilo. Natasha and I spent
considerable time discussing the design, and she has done an excellent job with the embroidery and tuckings; you will look stunning in it.
Do not hesitate to write me about everything that concerns you, darling. This is what I’m here for.
Con abrazos y besos,
Tia Elena
