Letter to Blumentritt
Viola and I thus wrote Rizal, are very sad because our little friend Dora is sick. We still remember her little blue eyes; we hear her merry laughter, and we see her little teeth. Poor Dorita! I saw her run after us when the train was leaving! With all my heart I wish her prompt recovery.

RIZAL RESENT EXHIBITION OF IGOROTS IN 1887

Exposition in the Philippines Letter: My poor compatriots (Igorots-- Z) who are now being exhibited in Madrid are mocked by Spanish newspapers, except El Liberal which says that is not consistent with human dignity to be exhibited side by side with animals and plants. I have done everything possible to prevent the display of this degradation of men of my race, but I have not succeeded. Now one woman died of pneumonia. The Igorots were housed in a barraca (rustic house made of bamboo, grass, and tree branches Z). And El Resumen still makes mean jokes about it!
