The following email granting permission to Quinto Sol to go ahead with its performance was received by Mr. Velázquez on 01/24/02 at 11:37:30 CST.

Dear José Antonio,

We wish you success and we offer you the rights to perform La Víctima. We have been through these parts and are somewhat familiar with the difficulties of your endeavor.

We do wish to know when you will be performing and the number of performances. If you do run into a little money, we would not refuse a small payment at your discretion as we ourselves do teatro for a living and the royalties help us sustain ourselves. However, we do understand your difficulty in producing the play with few funds if any; so do not feel obligated.

Do let us know how it went. Once again, we wish you success.

Abrazos,
Rodrigo Duarte Clark
