    Leonor Rivera, Rizal's sweetheart, age 15.
    We never had a chance to know what Dr. José Rizal wrote to Leonor Rivera because Doña Silvestra, Leonor's mother hid Rizal's love letters from Europe and confiscated Leonor's outgoing mails. All the while Leonor Rivera thought José Rizal had forgotten her. Travelling in Spain, Paris, Germany, and other European cities, Rizal thought Leonor had abandoned him. Rizal was heartbroken when he learned that Leonor Rivera, who had been convinced that José  no longer cared, consented to marry someone else.

    José Rizal poured his heart out to his friend Ferdinand Blumentritt.

    Later, when Leonor discovered her mother's treacherous interference (at her marriage to the Englishman, Henry Kipping) she ordered all the letters burned and kept the ashes.  Years later, she died during childbirth  and her last wishes was for the Rizal letter-ashes to be buried with her.

    (In a recent address by Dr Ambeth Ocampo, October, 2nd, 2011, at the FilBookFest, San Francisco, the information I got is that Leonor sewed the ashes in the hem of her wedding gown, so that when she marched down the aisle, the letter-ashes was with her.)
