Louise Fillmore Blancaflor: December 6, 1942
Two days after the burning of Barotac we heard that our farm house was spared. Martha Rey’s house was also saved (1/2 mile down the road) I have sent John and six men once more to Barotac to try and bring back some of our supplies and clothes (about 14 km away). They were able to get through this time, and when they reached the house Agustin was there. He had never left the house except on one occasion when he took Melecia and Maring to a safer hiding place. He said that when he was on his way back to the house, he was walking along the road when he noticed some Japanese soldiers up ahead. They also saw him at the same time, so it was too late to run and hide. If he had, they would have shot him. He kept walking as though nothing were wrong. He said, “the Japanese just stared at me and did not say a word.”
