Compañera,

Truthfully speaking, I don’t know what part of Spain my family came from. Of course, my ancestors left there a long time ago, with one hand in front and another behind;1 and if I don’t keep mine in the same place, it is only because of the discomfort of the position.

I don’t think you and I are very closely related, but if you are capable of trembling with indignation each time that an injustice is committed in the world, we are comrades, and that is more important.

A revolutionary greeting,

Patria o muerte

Venceremos

Commander Ernesto Che Guevara
