As told by Anonymous woman correspondent of Raio de Luz (signed L. de S.)
English

I was with the two little girls, who were dressed in white with very simple little crowns on their little heads. They told me that Our Lady appeared to them with St. Joseph and the Child beside her; she said that she was the Lady of the Rosary, that they should pray it a great deal, that this was a warning, but that if they did not repent and went on offending her Divine Son, He would send a great punishment on Portugal.

The two little girls, separately, described the vision in the same way, and Lucia, who, given her young age, should have been out of her wits in the midst of that commotion she found around her, kept telling everyone in a clear voice and without getting flustered, as she passed by (in her father's arms) — what Our Lady had said to her

Português (original)

Estive com as duas pequenitas que iam vestidinhas de branco com umas corôasinhas muito singelas nas cabecinhas. Disséram-me que Nossa Senhora lhes apareceu com S. José e o Menino ao pé, disse que era a Senhora do Rosario, que o rezassem muito, que isto era um aviso mas que se se não arrependessem e continuassem a offender o seu Divino Filho, Este mandaria um grande castigo a Portugal.

As duas pequenas em separado, fizeram a descripção da visão da mesma fórma e a Lucia, que, dado a sua pouca idade deveria estar doida no meio d'aquelle alvoroço de que se via rodeada, ia dizendo a todos em voz clara e sem se alterar, á medida que ia passando (ao collo do pae) — o que Nossa Senhora lhe disséra
