1945 
Dec. 1 _ Since this volcano apparently has ceased the eruption of 
heavy black clouds, charged with sand, one sees the people 
cheerful, happy and enlivened to work, above all in farming. 
At least the people of Anguahan now begin to have some small 
harvests for this first year. These first harvests of com 
appear in greater abundance than ever obtained before the vol- 
cano and especially of bean3 and wheat. 
2 - The inhabitants of San Juan repent not having thought of 
where to form their village in time, for in the place where they 
stopped they live in confusion. 
The volcano almost without vapor, only with the same noises 
as in previous days. 
3 - A small band of 12 to 14 persons with guns fell upon the new 
village of San Juan Nuevo in some trucks to rob a large quantity 
of pipe which served water to the village, with the pretext that 
now there would be no delay in finishing the new installation. 
4 - The tubing that these armed persons robbed was purchased 
through the cooperation of the community of San Juan and was 
their own property, and so, at the last moment, many families 
are left without water. These wicked people carried no written 
orders, nor orders from the Governor of the State, but said they 
had verbal orders of the Mayor of ITruapan. In this manner they 
treat those of San Juan Nuevo. 
5 - My people suffer from a scarcity of tillable land; they have 
no more than 1C x 20 meters on which to live. It is a miracle 
that these people live and withal remain humble, honorable and 
noble.
