Photo and note, from Julia Calderón, 1890

I'm not sure of whom this is a photo. I'm guessing it is of 3 of the daughters of Julia Calderón de Nuñez.  They are likely three older sisters of  my grandmother, Pauline Nuñez de Galindo. These would have been three of the eldest as my grandmother was the 9th child, and not born until well after this photo was taken.

The best part, however is the back, which has a note from my great-grandmother to her cousin:
It loosely translates to:


To my esteemed cousin
Francisca Y. de Valdez
I dedicate this memento
as evidence of sincere affection.
Chihuahua, May 31, 1890
Julia C. de Nuñez
  
Note the idiosyncratic spelling of "cincero."
