Question: What are the conditions of retraction letter made by Rizal?
Answer:
Below is said to be the original text of the retraction letter signed by Dr. Jose Rizal:
Me declaro catolica y en esta Religion en que naci y me eduque quiero vivir y morir.
Me retracto de todo corazon de cuanto en mis palabras, escritos, inpresos y conducta ha habido contrario a mi cualidad de hijo de la Iglesia Catolica. Creo y profeso cuanto ella enseña y me somento a cuanto ella manda. Abomino de la Masonaria, como enigma que es de la Iglesia, y como Sociedad prohibida por la Iglesia. Puede el Prelado Diocesano, como Autoridad Superior Eclesiastica hacer publica esta manifastacion espontanea mia para reparar el escandalo que mis actos hayan podido causar y para que Dios y los hombers me perdonen.
Manila 29 de Deciembre de 1896Jose Rizal
- English Translation –
I declare myself a catholic and in this Religion in which I was born and educated I wish to live and die.
I retract with all my heart whatever in my words, writings, publications and conduct has been contrary to my character as son of the Catholic Church. I believe and I confess whatever she teaches and I submit to whatever she demands. I abominate Masonry, as the enemy which is of the Church, and as a Society prohibited by the Church. The Diocesan Prelate may, as the Superior Ecclesiastical Authority, make public this spontaneous manifestation of mine in order to repair the scandal which my acts may have caused and so that God and people may pardon me.

This is actually one of the variants of the retraction letter of Rizal. And it was considered the original but was just discovered only on May 18, 1935 by Fr. Manuel Garcia, CM.
From that retraction letter, there are no other conditions stated except that Rizal turned away from the Masonry and embraced back the Catholic faith.
But, I just want to note that up to now, it is still being debated whether the retraction of Rizal is true or just a show by the Catholic authorities in the Philippines.
