A letter in the Awajun language from Bardales Juwau to his brother.

Bardales Juwau, a member of the Peruvian Army.

A handwritten letter in blue ink on lined paper, dated “25 de Octubre del 2014,” written in an Indigenous Amazonian language (likely Awajún) mixed with Spanish. Two columns of cursive text mention names, “año nuevo” and a gift list: cigarettes, a bottle, shoes, socks.
