English term or phrase:witto
Hola, estoy traduciendo una carta de un ciudadano al presidente Roosevelt, poniéndolo al tanto de la distribución de la ayuda en el marco del Nuevo Trato, para la población afroamericana. La carta está escrita por una persona de bajo nivel educativo, y tiene errores gramaticales que vengo sorteando. Pero aquí no sé cómo seguir. Les copio parte del texto:
