Dear Compañero,
I am taking this new opportunity of contact between you and our revolution to thank you and your wife for your great kindness.
I wanted to send you a small souvenir of Cuba, but the lack of an appropriate past and the extinction of our Cuban traditions force me to resort to this very modest expression of modern art.
I trust that your wife will appreciate the intention more than its material expression.
With revolutionary greetings,
Homeland or Death!
We will win!
Commander Ernesto Che Guevara
