Description

Writing from embargoed Cuba, Fidel Castro expresses his desire for an American "to be a friend of my country"

TLS in Spanish, one page, 6.25 x 8.25, Republica de Cuba letterhead, January 9, 1986. Letter to Richard R. Reidy in Scottsdale, Arizona, in part: "I do not want that tomorrow, when you become some notable personality of your country, you have reason to complain that your letter and your request remained unanswered. For this reason, I have found the time to send you the photo and the autograph, and also the Cuban peso that you aspired to know. But the most important thing that I want to convey to you is the sincere wish that you be a friend of my country and have great success in your studies and in life. A cordial greeting to you and your family." In very fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from University Archives.
