Antonio Maceo y Grajales ALS
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Autograph letter signed ''Anto. Maceo'' dated 15 June 1878 from New York to a friend in Cuba: ''Having received important news of the…republic of Cuba…admit them to my consideration…'' Written just days after being forced to leave Cuba and receiving news that the rebels had accepted Spanish peace terms at Loma Pelada. In 1878 when most of the Cubans generals believed they could not defeat the Spaniards, Maceo refused to surrender without winning Cuban independence and the abolition of slavery. One 5'' x 6.5'' page in very good condition.
