ALS, 8.5 x 11, Movimiento Revolucionario 26 de Julia, Camagiieg letterhead with two diagonal stripes printed on the upper right corner (one is red, one is black) circa 1962, written in Spanish to Hubert Matos, another commander of the Revolution. Castro writes that he is sending a check for 100,000 pesos and instructs Matos that the money can only be invested in the cultivation of the farms for an agricultural cooperative that Castro created. He further asks that Matos get an accountant who will keep good records of the expenses, and adds that he wants 4% interest on the money while it is idle. Castro also instructs Matos to pay attention to the soybean because “very soon the new crop will be ready, and pay a lot of attention to the cotton as well.” Accompanied by an unsigned check, in Spanish, 8.5 x 6.25, filled out in type, payable to Department of Production (Poultry Section) for $100,000, August 2, 1960. In the lower left corner Castro has written some highly inflammatory comments: “Stop eating so much shit and explain if you are going to produce chicken in cooperatives.” Both are double matted and framed together with a portrait and a small plaque, to an overall size of 26.5 x 23. In very good condition, the letter having heavy creasing to the top left corner and edge as well as the bottom right corner, paperclip marks, light toning and a small tear to the left edge and the check displaying mounting remnants to both top corners and a small staple hole. Oversized.
