6 July 1952
"In exactly one half hour, we will be pulling out of this place for Guantanamo Bay....I think that everyone will bring back some sort of mahogany wood....Did I tell you what I bought for you...set of mahogany salad dishes...another handbag and pair of shoes...two nut crackers, in form like a womens legs...oh boy...your jewel box...a stick like the "Shore Patrol" have."


Nut Cracker identical to the one Buss bought in Haiti.
