Letter from Che to Fernando Barral (1959)

"Dear Fernando:

I know that you had doubts about me as an individual, was I real or not, although in fact I am now quite different from the person you knew. Much water has flown under the bridge since that time and of the former asthmatic and individualist there remains only the asthma. I've been told that you've married; the same goes for me. I have two children, but I remain an adventure-lover, although today my adventures are in pursuit of the right goal. Give my greetings to your family from a relic of the past and please accept a fraternal embrace from Che, for that's my new name."

written in 1959 soon after the victory over Batista.
