Sr. José E. Martí Leyva
Mártires No. 180
Holguín, Oriente
Dear Friend,
I read with real pleasure your generous offer to fight for the freedom of our
neighbors, the people of Santo Domingo.
Having taken into account the full value of this disinterested and noble
offer, I urge you to keep alive your enthusiasm for the future, when an opportunity
will arise. Meanwhile, take advantage of your years in school
and make of yourself a useful man, something we have great need of in
Cuba. I am sure that you will be one of them. Devote yourself to drawing.
Promise me.
My cordial greetings,
Dr. Ernesto Che Guevara
Commander in Chief,
Military Dept. of La Cabaña
