New York xx of xx in 1930  

Bests regard Charles,    

I think you know it, but last year, 1929, the stock market crashed. There

As you know in my country last year, 1929, the stock market crashed. A lot of families
lose more than the 35 percent of the paper values that have in stock. The government instead
of stopping and trying to solve, continue searching positive messages about the
nation economy. But the depression continues and it got even worse.   

My family lose all the life savings that have for the future! In 1933 the New York
Stock Exchange it was much less that in the past. A lot of factories, business houses and
banks close. My father loses his job in the bank!   

The consume and the production generated a big disparity. The production thanks to the great
innovations of techniques after the war increases and the people’s buying capacity was not
enough. I think the techniques on the economy must change.   

A couple of days ago, some presidential campaigns try to solve the great depression that U.S.
is suffering. Herbert Hoover in his campaign proposes to restore the industry wheels again. But
Franklin D. Roosevelt propose to use experimental remedies to solve that problem. I think New
York needs new ideas, the economy like this now doesn’t work, new techniques could help the
economy grow. I wish Roosevelt wins. The economy in the future it will have been solved? 

Best wishes,
