Oscar B. Cintas
Cintas used to be a Cuban Ambassador to the United States. Cintas liked to collect art and manuscripts. He had bought the Bliss Copy for $54,000 at a public auction in 1949. It "set a new high record for the sale of a document at public auction". The Castro government claimed Cintas' properties after it became powerful in 1959. Cintas had willed the Gettysburg Address to the American people if it would be kept at the White House. Cintas died in 1957. It was moved there in 1959 and is still there today.
