Photograph signed: "Fidel Castro/ Hab. Nov 19, 59" as Prime Minister. B/w, 4¾x7. Fine
condition. Accompanied by TLS: "Juan Orta", Chief of the Prime Minister's Office, 1
page, 8½x10¾. On official letterhead. Havana, Cuba, 24 October, 1959 "Año de la
Liberacion". To Eugenio Von Boeck, Chargé d'Affaires, Embassy of Bolivia, Montevideo,
Uruguay. In Spanish, loosely translated: "On behalf of the Prime Minister, Dr. Fidel Castro, I
am pleased to send you the photograph which you amicably requested in your letter dated the
15th of the current month." Date stamp in lower right corner. Lightly creased. Binder holes in
left margin. Otherwise, fine condition. The letter is dated 26 days before the signature on the
photo and was presumably forwarded to Castro to accompany it. On January 1, 1959, Cuban
dictator Fulgencio Batista fled the country, and Castro took over as Prime Minister, a title he
would hold until 1976, when he became President of the Council of State and the Council of
Ministers. Juan Orta was Castro's private secretary who, as part of the Bay of Pigs
Invasion, was supposed to assassinate Castro with a poisoned drink. Orta backed out of
the plan and the invasion failed miserably. Two items.
