[Cuban Revolution] Castro, Fidel. Fidel Castro Eleven Page ALS to Pedro Luis Containing List of Needed Supplies. Sierra Maestra: September 23, 1958. Pages uneven, each approx. 4 ¼ x 5 ¾”. Folded, with staple holes and rust marks at top and bottom left margins, ink smudged; very good to fine. Penned entirely in Castro’s hand, the letter provides Pedro Luis, aviator and arms smuggler, with a status update while in the Cuban mountains (“I’ve had to go down, because around here the people waste a lot of time and don’t do anything”) and a request for supplies (“We need more anti-tank bullets, and if possible, more anti-tank rifles”); signed “A big hug, Fidel Castro.” Includes translation.
