After December 1972 [This postcard was probably written after the difficulties regarding the production of La Cubana in December 1972, to which Barnet is alluding here.]
Mi hermano;

Qué alegría cada vez que voy a escribirte ¡Cómo te recuerdo siempre! Ugné Karvelis vino a Cuba y parece que toda va a mejorar. [Karvelis often travelled between Cuba and France and letters were often received and sent through her. See also Henze's letter to Barnet on 21 July 1970.] Dime cómo estás de salud, de creación y de amores. Yo muy bien y escribo bastante. Dime, Henze, que hay de cierto con la ópera de Rachel. Oí rumores de que había causado alguna revolución en New York.[^1] Inform me. I need news.

[^1: Perhaps Barnet had heard (possibly via Enzensberger) about the difficulties with the production of La Cubana concerning the censorship of some political references. See the letter between Henze and Enzensberger of December 1972 and in particular Enzensberger's letter to Henze of 11 December 1982.]

Love from your brother

¡Hola Fausto!

Miguelito

Photo of a child with a newspaper bag, wearing an orange jacket and an orange cap, holding the newspaper El imparcial in his left hand. At the bottom of the photo Barnet wrote in black ballpoint: He was also a little boy sometime ago…; in the right bottom corner is the photographer’s logo and the word Roto (Broken).

He was also a little boy sometime ago...
