MONTEVIDEO - Weekly Search - Thursday, February 21, 2008 Letters to the Editor
Carlos Gardel Sir:
Our intention was to end the controversy remains about the origin of Carlos Gardel. For two reasons: one, the saturation that the issue should be causing the readers, and one of importance to assess properly the generosity of this page, "search" offers its readers.
But in the number dated 07.02.1908, Mr. Espina Rawson, a note calls us, and therefore, if the editor allows us, we will reply.
Very briefly, Mr. Espina you ask us to present and what we know, the documentation that we invoke in our delivery date 12/27/2007. At the same record that we let respect the space that gives us this page, do not spell out. Know
Mr. Spina, who are not scholars, other supporters of it from time ago, but the voluminous documentation invocábamos not a mystery and you, with no job, can be found by going primarily to the book of the late Arch . Nelson Bayardo "Gardel in the light of history."
But we understand and see that you, the members of the "Study Center of Buenos Aires Gardel, only join the" French Gardel, "ignoring the evidence that there are characters in relief, which can not easily dismiss. course for you, the evidence was not there.
Nothing replied specifically to the various deliveries of correspondents who have provided evidence and testimony, as Mrs. Martina Iñiguez, in more than one occasion, or the note of Mr. Mario Azzarini Scosería, dated 12/16/1907 , which makes them 30 questions (30 questions!) on the subject, deserving of you, so far, the most absolute silence ...
We in the note of 27.12.2007, I did three questions. Only reiterate the third, where we needed that Mr Stephen said in a note that Berta 01/02/1907 Gardes between 1880 and 1893 was not for these latitudes. In the background note we informed him of Mr Stephen mistake, since Berta Gardes itself, in a report in the newspaper "El Debate" dated 12.8.1935 stated that in his youth he spent part, now in Montevideo, now in Buenos Aires.
The only argument is a forceful Berta enlightening because it shows itself could have been responsible for raising Gardel. Neither Mr. Stephen, and Mr. Thorn, in the reply brief note to mention anything this 2/7/1908 we bring in all reality, not invented, and confirm that the statements own Berta Gardes, who was in his youth in these parts, split the basis of your thesis of French Gardel, prepared and stands just in denial that the same went for the Rio de la Plata at the time ...
We conclude by stating that the "Centro de Estudios de Buenos Aires Gardel" has the right to hold the views they see fit as to the origin of Carlos Gardel, but we believe that by using the pages that "Search" provides its readers, trying to polemics on the issue but in fact avoiding any analysis, evaluation and answering the many submissions from correspondents (Maybe that is his way of arguing), made with high, is in some way not taking into account the consideration that readers deserve.
