               =W   ~    Dear Sire
                            1.  With reference  to your letter dated 16 June ordering me to
                       report  the reason for my incompliance with your order dated 18 Nov 60
                       concerning my  trip to the U.S. in order to obtain arms and ammo for
                       the  Escambray, I have the honor to report the following.
                                 a.  On the very same day on which I received the order I  .'Y
                                                            05
                        vent to Havana where I saw Mr.CRlMON RUISANCHEZ who  was working in
                        the underground for the Escambray, and he advised me that my trip to
                        the U.S. was not necessary as he had already received the necessary    !
                        equipment directly from outside Cu.   As  I was aware that this was
                        ..precisely the mission of Mr.UISANCHEZ  and considering that my
               -        services might be needed for another important mission, I accepted
                        this gentleman's statemenit.-
                                 b.  The next day he gave me 11 M-3 sub-machine gs,   4 Garand
                 a     :rifles  and TWO THOUSAND PESOS, which I delivered to CaptainEdel.MONTI M
                        LOranLO at a place near Trinidad in the Escambray.  After this I again
                        returned to Havana for another meeting with Mr. RAMON RUISANCHEZwho
                        was to furnish two radio-telegraphy sets to our Hqs, but which I was
                        unable to take back as Mr.  AMON RUISANCHE3did  not deliver them to me.
                                 -.. With regards to the photographs taken in the zone of
                        operations, which would serve me as credentials outside Cuba, together
                        with the document which you gave me appointing me as Liaison Officer
                        of the Escambray Hqs and giving. me full powers to represent you outside
                        OUb&  as my mission had been canceled I left the photographs with
