Previously unpublished letter written in triumph three weeks after Che took Havana. His recipient is the Cuban magazine La Revista Bohemia, whom he congratulates and thanks for their work furthering his and Fidel Castro's cause: "las dedico este Fraternal y caluroso mensaje a ese maravilloso colectivo que son ustedes, incansables constructores de las ideas revolucionarias, paradi pura del socialismo y el comunismo, y baluartes y estandartes de la contribución a la edificación de la sociedad proletaria, les ex orto a que siguán trabajando con esmero y dedicación para que si guamos consolidando el triunfo." Over the course of the Cuban Revolution, Che came to understand the importance of media coverage in achieving his goals; La Revista Bohemia was one such media outlet. He signs off with what would become one of his standard closing phrases: "Patria o Muerte. Con fervor revolucionario. Che".
