N2  - The idea for this essay was suggested by the discovery of a letter written about Rizal less than two months after his execution. It was written by his good friend and former teacher, Father Francisco de Paula Sanchez, who at the times was the Jesuit missionary in Tandang on the Pacific coast of Mindanao. Although brief, the letter touched upon Rizal's relationships with, and his attitude towards, the various sectors of the Spanish establishment in the Philippines. In studying this letter, I was puzzled by a certain discrepancy. On the one hand there was no doubt that Father Sanchez loved Rizal and that he, better than perhaps any other Spaniard, knew Rizal well. On the other hand, I began to wonder whether Father Sanchez really understood Rizal or his attitudes. --From the foreword
