Dear Mrs. Díaz:
I was very glad to receive your letter, to which I am now replying.
We must meet Cuba’s needs, so we cannot turn down anybody who offers services which may be of great use to the revolution.
Thus, I don’t foresee any problems with your coming here, where you will be welcomed, but I would like to make it clear that all positions are awarded on the basis of merit, and you will have to accept this principle.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ernesto Che Guevara
Commander in Chief
La Cabaña Military Department
