Includes one paragraph letter to Mary [Hemingway] at conclusion of poem, with location and date ("Ritz Hotel, Paris September, 1944") scratched through. 6250-f

Holograph pages in ink and pencil, representing the text before transcription to typescript. There is no page 78 in the manuscript. This was a numbering mistake on Hemingway's part. The typing job was done by Jane Armstrong (wife of the journalist-photographer Richard Armstrong) in Cuba, as Hemingway explains in his letter fragment to [Charles Scribner] that accompanies the manuscript, attesting to its authenticity. He says he wanted to give Jane Armstrong something that would be worth money someday as thanks for help; hence, her possession of the manuscript. He urges Scribner's to pay Mrs. Armstrong's daughter (who is offering the manuscript for sale) "all you can for it to take your percentage" on resale. SEE SLIPCASE 6250-a

There are many differences between this typescript and what finally appeared in the published version. And the changes are throughout. Generally Hemingway was much less temperate in his language. As an example, he is more scathing and more detailed in his attacks on Gertrude Stein.

Jane Armstrong used two different typewriters during her typing of the book. One of the typefaces is pica, ten characters to the inch, and the other is a unique, larger type, about nine characters to the inch. SEE SLIPCASE 6250-s

After The Sun Also Rises was set in galley proofs at Scribner's, F. Scott Fitzgerald read a carbon copy and suggested that the first two chapters be omitted and that the novel begin with the opening of chapter three, when Jake Barnes meets the prostitute Georgette. Hemingway took Fitzgerald's advice partially and deleted most of the first two chapters, about 3,500 words beginning with the introduction of Robert Cohn. After the deletion, Hemingway tried several times to insert a beginning that explained the disappearance of the opening material. He eventually abandoned this effort because "by referring to the cut chapters it merely capsulizes the faults of those chapters." After the very late revision suggested by Fitzgerald, the novel was published October 1926 as it stands today. This is the printer's setting copy of The Sun Also Rises which, in the original state, contained the two opening chapters excised after the book was already in galleys. This typescript, which had been in the Louis H. Cohn Collection, was presented to the University of Virginia Library in March 1977 by Mrs. Louis H. Cohn as a memorial to her late husband.

Hemingway is working on a "long thing" and "would not be able to get to stories for a while." He is also committed to pieces for Esquire but hopes will have something for him in the future. In top left corner margin is written "HPB + pls return for file BM." In top right corner margin is written "BM can't we get a 1st look? Important B" 6250-aa

Armstrong apologizes for not editing Hemingway's manuscript as too many things distracted her. The Dos Passos' are visiting. 6250-s

Returns the manuscript they were editing to Hemingway, and give praise to the work: "it was a great experience: watching it unfold, the vibrant Africa I knew it must be, the country you're homesick for though you've never seen." 6250-s

Compares the images of Africa which she has seen first hand to the images from Hemingway's book [ The Green Hills of Africa ]. Only six months into a two-year term in Kenya and does not know what is happening in the world. 6250-s

A photograph of Mount Kilimanjaro on front of postcard that Cohn thought Barrett would like to add to Hemingway collection. 6250-b

Thanks for letter. Hemingway will sign Wilson's books next time he is in New York. 6250-d

Asks Randall that when he sells the Hemingway manuscript to deposit check under the name of Jane P. Armstrong and send it to her in the American Consulate in New Zealand. Original letter and envelope in autograph manuscript of The Green Hills of Africa. 6250-a

Enclosed is a big bullfight story [ "The Undefeated "]. It was turned down by every reputable and disreputable magazine in the States. Wrote his guts out. Hopes he will like it. Tried to get quality of the In Our Time action into a long story. Sent proofs. Write regarding delay in getting proofs. 6250-a

All proofs sent to him. Will send copy of cover as soon as available. Tells reasons for delay at Clark"s: water cut off which caused printing problems for This Quarter. 6250-a

Enclosed signed contract, and new story to replace the one he is eliminating as censorable. Stipulates no alterations of words are to be made without his approval. Good news that it is no longer necessary to eliminate "the fine old word 'son of a bitch.'" Thinks book has a good gambling chance to sell. Classic examples of really fine book that could not sell: E. E. Cummings' The Enormous Room. Hemingway's book will be praised by highbrows and can be read by lowbrows. Has a good 3/1 chance. The new story makes a better book: it's almost the best he's ever written. He is eliminating the second story, "Up in Michigan, " the next three move up one place and the new story, "The Battler, " takes place of "The Three Day Blow. " Pleased to be published by Boni & Liveright. Hopes he will become a property. 6250

Forgot to mention Gertrude Stein's stuff. Thinks it is splendid. Complains about slow printing of This Quarter by Clarke. Suggests Bill Smith be hired to expedite business of publication, so he can be relieved of job. Hasn't written a thing since going down to Clarke's and has to get to work on his own book. He is miserable and ugly if not creating. Concludes letter with note to [Ethel] Moorhead, thanking her for check that will pay rent, buy groceries, etc. Glad she thinks it a great story. 6250-a

Went to Clarke with corrected proofs of [ This Quarter ]. Gives details of changes to be made. Criticizes Walsh's statement that Ezra Pound was a bad judge of wine, food and women, but a good judge of furniture, boys and sculpture. Sounds as if Ezra were a "bugger." Afraid people will get the wrong idea. Change to "young poets or artists"? Asks Walsh questions on how to set up publication, and other business details. 6250-a

Review [ This Quarter ] is on press and being printed. Spine reads "Spring, " not "April. " Better as a quarterly. Clarke's press broken; 250 pages too big for his equipment. Says [Êdouard] Herriot government [of France] having "a hell of a time." Expected to fall Wednesday but no government ever did anything on time. 6250-a

[ This Quarter ] well into printing. Going to be a damned fine review. Nothing can stop it except rats eating rollers. Will have by April 23. Government fell as expected, but franc stays up. 6250-a

Mrs. Moorhead gave them a couple of bottles of damned fine wine. Walsh seems suspicious that Hemingway is inventing ways to do him out of money. He has strong idea people are out to cheat him. Many are, but many more are not. Give's [Ezra] Pound's address. English publisher will submit plans and terms for distributing quarterly [ This Quarter ] in England. Clark had another breakdown. Note to Moorhead regarding paying someone to do work on magazine that Hemingway was doing for nothing. Verso of p.2 contains autograph memo, n.d., by Ethel Moorhead. 6250-a

Mailed registered letter with signed contract and new story to replace story he was eliminating from In Our Time as censorable. There has been no acknowledgement or promised check. Would like note confirming that translations of his books are his property. 6250-a

On anthology question, has referred permission to use two stories directly to Horace Liveright. Might help book to reprint stories. Leaving next week for Spain. Meeting Benchley there. Says he can grab off authors as fast as he can get them tight. He doesn't care about being published in anthology. All he wants is to have stuff published and be paid for it. 6250-a

[James] Joyce asked him when he should send his manuscript [new section of Finnegan's Wake ] for This Quarter. Write Joyce care of Shakespeare and Company Bookstore. 6250-a

Won't be a Spanish letter as working all the time on novel [ The Sun Also Rises ]. 68,000 words done. Going to be a swell novel with no autobiography and no complaints. In Our Time comes out the last of September with Boni & Liveright. May see him in Milan as he and Hadley going on walking tour through Tyrol and the Dolomites, and they may hop a train to see if Campari's can still put out a meal. Ready for a loaf when he gets book done. "Christ, how I've worked." Will put it away and not look at it until after Christmas, when he'll go over it, cut and fix it up and type it himself. Sending two photographs. Italians are worse crooks than the French, but the Milanese are the best of the Italians. Can't live in Italy because the political situation makes him so furious that he is upset and in trouble all the time. Discusses the murders of Matteoli. Promised himself he would not go to Italy again as long as the Fascists are in power. Discouraging to think that the country that produced Garibaldi should be ruled by that gang. As soon as Italy became a united nation it was finished. Poor old Cavour. 6250-a

Sylvia Beach said Walsh wanted him to autograph In Our Time for him. He did so, but has not grace to do it properly. Had copies but all stolen or given away. Will try to find original Three Mountains edition for him. Just finished long fight story [ "Fifty Grand "] that is damned good. They are about broke. Liveright book is getting splendid reviews. Mencken reviewed Three Mountains under "quackery" to confuse purchasers and do him as much damage as possible. Asks for proof of "Undefeated. " Had capable translation of "Soldier's Home "from Linati. Hemingway places great value on honest appreciation and only disgust from "bullshit." 6250-a

Returning corrected proof for "The Undefeated. " Four changes. Not just being like Joyce, wanting to rewrite story every time proof is sent. Going to Austria December 15. 6250-a

Sending on the Mauretania manuscript of his new book, The Torrents of Spring. F. Scott Fitzgerald read and is very excited about it. This is not the long novel which he is calling The Sun Also Rises , which he is rewriting and working on all winter. Compares [ The Torrents of Spring ] to Fielding and Richardson. Bromfield read and said it was one of the funniest books he has ever read, and a very perfect American satire. Wishes he would get Ralph Barton to illustrate it. If he takes it, he has to push it. Has made no kick regarding lack of publicity for In Our Time. It should come out in the spring. Only reason he wouldn't publish it is for fear of offending Sherwood [Anderson]. If he takes book, wants $500 advance. Should ask for $1,000 as he can sell 20,000 copies. Funny books not to easy to get hold of. Those who have read "Black Laughter " will purchase. Cable him in Austria his decision on The Torrents of Spring. 6250-a

Didn't know how they stood on money. He is not a rich man. They live on $1,000 a month. Gave up newspaper work at $125 to have freedom to write. He writes slowly, with difficulty, and his head must be clean to do it. Last year he made 1,1000 francs writing. Nothing in dollars. 6250-a

Hopes nothing bad has happened to him and that he was just in an Irish black mood. Proud he wrote "The Undefeated. " Will be in New York in one week. Really fond of [Robert] McAlman. Don't let any of them die of disease, but the more he thinks of it, any form of dying can be made pretty swell. He looks forward to it, but wants to be at least 85 when it happens. Life is pretty swell. 6250-a

Glad to get letter. Went to Bill Baird of the Three Mountain Press who promised to send him copy of The Cantos. Finished re-writing The Sun Also Rises , and having swell time in town. Has box for all week at 6-day bicycle race. Took all next month's rent and food money to buy it. Can sell extra four seats if he wants to. Scribner sent him proofs of satire. Hopes he will let him have one of the books of poems. Has seen no literary gents, but sees by clippings they are constant attendees at literary teas, i.e. Bercovici, Bromfield, Wharton, Seldes, etc. to write the local color stories. Will be in Spain middle of May on. He has got mixed up in making some bullfight films for South American and European consumption. Will get his bullfights free. Got tight when leaving New York. Paris is very exciting. Urges [Gorman] to come over. He is grown up and restful after New York. 6250-c

His books have been Three Stories and Ten Poems (1923), In Our Time (1924) The Torrents of Spring (1926) The Sun Also Rises (1926), and Men Without Women (1927). If she ever gets any rare editions, he would appreciate hearing about it. If they became valuable, he might have something to leave his children. Lists number of copies printed and publishers. 6250-c

Remembers receiving other photograph, autographing and sending it back. Pleased to sign this one. Just finished long novel that he has been working on since last February, which is out next fall. Perhaps appearing as serial in Scribner's meantime. Includes signed photograph of Ernest Hemingway: "To Charles Thomas Scott with all best wishes..." See Photographs for original. 6250-c

Sailing for Havana to Boulogne. Will be in Paris April 22. Returning the proofs with two omissions, which are necessary. Hemingway worked hard on the passages and has gone over and over it "in order that it might be printed without in anyway giving offense." Wishes that in the future cuts of the passages could be suggested on the proof and not on the manuscript. 6250-r

No plans for writing any differently, except always to try and write better. As for immortality, that's something we have to die to find out about. But [James] Joyce, for Dubliners and the end of Ulysses , is surest bet for it of anyone living. People writing as well as they can don't change their way of writing any easier than they can change their skins. 6250-a

He may reprint his poem. $10 - $15 would be all right for reprinting. Not in favor of his reprinting the "other Double Dealer piece." Reprinting already published fragments not in his racket. 6250-y

Glad to serve on his jury. States the best three books he read in 1932 are 1919 by John Dos Passos, Conquistador by Archibald Macleish, and The American Jitters by Edmund Wilson. 6250-a

Hemingway responds angrily to Romaine's suggestion to stop writing about "Lost Generations and bulls;" he could be jailed for the publication of his political beliefs; Dos Passos and Wilder are not good writers and he has not read Faulkner's "early crap." 6250-ab

Hemingway allows photograph of his house to be used in a postcard. 6250-k

Telegram: "Arrived yesterday. Meeting Harrington Saturday." 6250-s

Thanks Jane for swell typing job. It was a beautiful job figuring out what the hell Hemingway's holograph meant and he appreciates it. Max Perkins and Dos [John Dos Passos] have read it and like it very much. Hemingway is feeling better about it. Believes Jane likes it because she likes Africa and Dick likes it because he likes to drink. Asks them a favor: would they contact a few people in Cuba to help out with an article he is writing on Cuban marlin fishing? 6250-s

Doesn't know why Strauss's girl thought Hemingway liked war: "Christ knows I didn't like it for other people." Doesn't understand how people lie about him. "I would rather kill racehorses that I am fond of than lie in a story." Better not to talk and better, in some ways, not to have friends. Can tell what his enemies may do but not his friends. Plans to write stories Strauss will like. Discusses La Condition Humane by Andre Malraux. "Goddamn it takes a while to make a writer." 6250-j

Thanks for the letter and the clippings. Has been drinking for two months since he got back from New York. Asks Armstrong for a working press pass. Coming down to see fight and to refresh his memory about Cuba. Pauline sends her best. 6250-s

Not sore at him but wishes he would come down and fish and discuss set-up. Treated Joe Losey squarely. Hoped Losey could raise money and put on show. Option ran out and Hemingway sold Glazer the right to make adaptation subject to certain conditions. They hoped he would permit his name to be used. Only friendly feeling for Mac and Joe. Never prejudiced their interests. He is under no obligation to ask anyone's advice on how he should dispose of his property, and it was neither disloyal nor unfriendly for him not to come to Mac. 6250-a

Hemingway relates story of when he was on the phone and lightning struck throwing him nearly ten feet, of which he could not talk for a long time. "That lightning is powerful. Never try to fool with it." Then next day lightning struck again. Good thing he was wearing dry shoes on the tile floor otherwise he wouldn't be around. Gives good news: they are going to the ranch. Gives details about the logistics of trip to ranch. He is now on page 340 of his book, "but it gets longer and longer all the time." 6250-h

Sorry for delayed reply to receipt of notarized papers. Discusses [John H. Hemingway]'s experience in the war, organizing French resistance around Montpellier for the OSS, and his subsequent wounding and capture by the Germans while making a daytime reconnaissance in the Rhone Valley. Working very hard on his new book. Still has a bad headache from the series of concussions he got. He gets his writing done before the headaches start. Did not write Maurice because he is working so hard on the book. 6250-n

Discusses stipulations of contract. Asks for length needed, etc. for tear sheets or manuscripts of what their masterminds have written on "The Future of Everything. " Doesn't know a shit about the future of anything, but will write a good, straight people about what he thinks. Tells of the catch of recent fishing trip. He is down to 210 lbs. Averaged a fish every four minutes. Awfully good life if that is what you like, and that is what he likes. Also, no god-damn photographers. 6250-f

Thanks for letter and check. Will try to write the best stories he can. Put off writing due to "general effup" of his attorney and agent, Speiser, etc. 6250-f

Things quiet in Italy as seven years between elections. Italians are a wonderful people. Probably had worst press in the world. Meeting people he fought against and seeing places with more understanding. Wonderful for him. Owes two stories due by end of December or he returns the dough. Wrote one, but too rough for Cosmopolitan. They've published the best stories he has written. Back to Cuba in May. Life piece made him sick. Difference between Life and life. He tries to be a good character, keeps promises, etc. but doesn't think [Malcolm] Cowley knows anything about what people like him are made of. Reading it, he felt as if he were being formed in Cowley's image. Had a nice, private life before, but now feels like somebody had shit in it and left it there. Glad Truman won, but it has gone to what he thinks of as his head. Mary broke her leg skiing. Raves about Bob Flaherty. Small torn fragment from bottom left of letter in envelope. 6250-f

In regard to money advance, will carry it against two short stories rather than the novel, but promises novel to him. Doesn't want to take advance on the novel because he doesn't want anyone looking over his shoulder. All is well. Mary recovered from broken leg. His infection on his face is now better. Kids with us for thirty days. After they leave he will settle down and work. Looking forward to seeing each other, and see Bob Flaherty. 6250-f

Glad he liked Holiday piece. Discusses photographers. Mentions Tom Lea's book [ The Brave Bulls ?], and didn't think it was very good. Hemingway is getting sick of the mystique of bravery etc. being piled on and manufactured situations and crap in general. Glad DiMaggio is playing again. Remembers playing baseball as a youth. Loved it more than any other game. Discusses his relationship with the church: "after being married twice out of the church you would think the Jesuits might have given me up as hopeless." Life is very complicated. Anecdote about chaplain in the 4th Infantry Division. His fighting chickens have won 38 out of 42 fights and keep them in the food. Shooting pigeons. Discusses activities of his sons. Read only one Flaherty profile, which made him seem like a little boy reading it. Hotchner picked a good hero: "We all need one, and I think you got the best one." 6250-f

Glad he is coming down in two weeks. Discusses confusion with his expense account when he worked for Mr. Hearst: "The only item I had turned down was the hire of a Felluca. They thought a Felluca had something to do with Felattio (Also mis-spelled) and that I was either over-extending myself or setting up a personal harem." Discusses John O'Hara's books and criticizes him: "He has a pretty ear but he had the terrible inferiority complex of the half-lace curtain Irish and he never learned that it doesn't matter a fuck where you come from, socially, it is where you go." Wrote him off but happy that he was wrong. Mentions his son, Gigi, who threw a pitch at Hemingway's head during baseball game. Discusses Gigi a lot, and states that he is the only boy that "turned out Indian, not Cherokee, Digger, Pyute, Navajo, or any of those unfortunate peoples but Northern Cheyenne and he has all the problems of them, as I always had, and all the lack of problems that having that blood gives you." Has stopped training his chickens because of moulting. Talks of his fishing and their plans when they are together. 6250-f

Gone completely legal and doesn't like the government, and doesn't want to take any favors from them. Wonderful news regarding fight films on the way down. Mary is with her parents and he is lonely. Discusses his activities and amount he is writing. Out to shoot pigeons. Writing is his true love. Drinking is fun, not a release from something. But he is not a first stone caster. Thinks book will run in three installments, and that it is the best one he has written, although he is prejudiced. No doghouse trouble anymore: "A man should know how to get out of that doghouse or else should turn in his suit." But he loves "Miss Mary, truly." Thanks for $10,000 check, but hasn't cashed it yet. Eleven different hurricanes kicking around. "Must get going now or Miss Mary will tell me that I am not taking life seriously. Some day I might take it seriously and a lot of characters would hang by their necks until dead."Signed by Hemingway's secretary, Miss Nita. 6250-f

Talks about finishing book [ Across the River and Into the Trees ?]. Will be glad when it's done, but will miss it for a while. Just wrote a "god-damn wonder chapter." Got it all, to break your heart, into two pages. Discusses geographical locations he loves in Western States, such as Red Lodge, Montana or Cody, Wyoming or West Yellowstone or Billings "on a Saturday night" or Casper "where Mary lost our kid." Borrowed 10 G for operation mink coat, for Mary. Went to a circus and saw the lions. Will work the cats in public after the book is done. Would rather work them than do most anything else, if you don't have to use whip, chair, or make theater. Will be introduced as, "An Illustrious domador del norte, now retired from the profession, but who, through his aficion, dedicates this rather special number to the Cuban public." Tells Hotchner it isn't dull where he is. 6250-f

Thanks for the fight films. Is at 47,474 words today, which interests the shit out of him. Tells Hotchner that there must be an element of surprise with the book, or there is no deal. Got into trouble with Miss Mary when the photographer showed photographs to them, which included the "whore that we now call Xenophobia." Got into doghouse because of that. Cannot make a lie stick with Miss Mary; it is the quickest way to starve yourself to death that is still available. Will be lonesome when the book is done. He never had a better friend or a more severest critic. Have been slugging it out with Mr. Shakespeare, the writer. I guess maybe he is old. Mentions Mr. Tito who did very well, not for himself, but for everybody. Charlie Scribner is as dumb as a horse. Signed by Hemingway's secretary, Miss Nita. 6250-f

Discusses writing. Wants to follow the same system with his new book as he did with For Whom the Bell Tolls. Discusses money possibilities. Explains why he doesn't write letters: "I do not write because I am so God-damned pooped after I write that it is difficult to write letters." Will be leaving for Paris mid November. Use his discretion in cutting of the proof. Sorry fish did not bite. Probably because of the storms, for fish "are as sensitive to the barometer as a woman is to the moon." 6250-f

Telegram. Airmailing first 62 pages and chapter which introduces girl. 6250-f

Telegram. Will bring all corrected copy except last chapter. Faster than mailing. 6250-f

Telegram. Urgent. Please call Otto Bruce to see if he can bring car. If not Bruce, ask for Anita Jensen at the American Embassy, Havana. Ask for extension to Buick. Also, in book [ Across the River and Into the Trees ?] where living generals are called jerks can change to characters. 6250-f

Nothing of business to report so make it a personal letter. Everyone misses him. Mary is wonderful. Discusses codes, and includes anecdote about "shelling friendly cruiser." Entered into the Grand Prix pigeon shoot. Only two Americans ever won.

Thanks for letter. Didn't know he could write a book as straight as he did and have so many intellectuals hate it. Sorry about the girl being so mature for her age. All stories are made up, but you have to invent from knowledge. American criticism is sort of funny. Anything they have not been taught, they think is not true. If you fight they hate you because they don't fight. Gives anecdote of Col. Jim Luckett. "You write that and they tell you that such things never happened. Finishing up book; it was an attempt to distill. 6250-x

Bad timing [about Hotchner being fired]. Does he have any money for coming events and could Hemingway help him? Would not have given the novel to Scribner's except for Hotchner; had promised it to Cosmopolitan and wouldn't let anyone else bid on it. Talks about duck and geese hunting. Dealing with his face infection he had picked up a week ago. Ingrid [Bergman] has "been takeing [sic] her lumps and it did not occur to Rosellini to do anything more chic and gallant than read [Hemingway's] private letters to her to the press." 6250-x

Mary broke her leg again, skiing. Tell Ted Patrick that Hotchner controls where Hemingway's stuff goes and that he "would not sell nothing to noplace where [Hotchner] was not working at unless [he] accepted service under the Woman's Home Upfuck or the Ladie's Home Compassion." Mistake to serialize as they did, but they made the mistake and "does a man cry over spilt shit or a spilt horse or whores?" No. Has done the rewrite on the whole book, but wishes Hotchner has been around to help with his "good, clean, smart, just head" and heart as bad as his. 6250-x

Apologized for not writing as he has been busy. Recently got a concussion after a fall on the Pilar with a major arterial cut, which was something that "helped a writer the least." It was a very gory story. "Am always bored shitless when am hit or smashed up. Never like to be in bed without a woman or a good book or the Morning Telegraph. " Discusses the ballet with Anne-Marie getting top billing. Sending illustrations to Ted Patrick for "The Good Lion and the Faithful Bull. " Does not wish to publish "The Great Black Horse. " Hemingway and Conte [Carlo di] Robilant are heads of a new movement of Venetian writing. Gianfranco Ivancich another member of the Movement. Talks about horse racing. "Never lose your faith in the honesty of sports, boy." 6250-x

Mary [Hemingway] had a piece accepted by Flair. When they fold, they are still committed, aren't they? Discusses accusations of his adultery: "Every time we ever went to the races now rates as triple space adultery." His health is better, although he cannot ride or ski. Can fish and shoot. Going around with heart sort of a displaced person is not much fun but "it is damn sight easier than being in Korea." Has been working with lions: "Takes your mind off things." Has been offered a job working with the cats but decided to stick with book writing. He may do a story on the circus. "The Korean thing takes all the fun out of kidding." His book [ Across the River and Into the Trees ] best seller for ten weeks. Talks about MacArthur and Sir Charles Willouby, "phony, a passed-over-liar that nobody would take and really a failed Kraut." In regards to the Korean War, "this is the first time my country even fought and I was not there and food has no taste and the hell with love when you can't have children etc." The Post are good people; Collier's have been "bitches, untruthful, and never complying with their obligations." Esquire "like living in a cave with cheap thieves without a sense of humour [sic]." Let him know about CBS deal. Writing more stories. All unpublished in book form. True paying him $2,000 for his sport's stories. Always thinks of Hotchner as his soundest and truest friend. Sorry he caused him any bad luck. 6250-x

Whether he will be in the States in December, 1951 comes close to being the $64 question. Should not defend his work except with more and better work. Appreciates him defending it if he thinks it good, but he himself should not do so. There wsa great discrepancies between reviews and letters he received regarding last book [ Across the River and Into the Trees ]. Berenson liked it very much. Many soldiers wrote that they read it four or five times. So far only two wrote against it. Shamus McManus was one. Has to get to work as his head is someplace else. Cannot come to meeting. William B. Seward, in English Department at William and Mary, knows what Hemingway is trying to do. Hemingway couldn't read McCaffery collection. It was "too much writing about something you knew too much about." He "honest to Christ" has to get to work. Believed his last book a fine one and read it over 100 times, but he couldn't say that to people nor make them believe he didn't think it was good because he wrote it. Location of original unknown. 6250-a

Big work almost finished, which can be broken into three big publishable books. Hotchner's television deal sounds good, but Hemingway doesn't want to stop writing for a New York appearance. Mary, Adriana, and her mother left for a trip. Wants to finish book so he can shoot in the International Championships. Scandal in Paris and Venice that Adriana is the girl in "that book we all wrote. You know this is impossible." Tells Hotchner what Sam Langford said: "that you could sweat out eating too much and you could sweat out beer and whiskey but nobody could sweat out women." Discusses sights Adriana should see in New York. 6250-x

Apologizes for everyone being sick. Wants Hotchner to sell stories without Hemingway's having to talk or make appearances. His play [ "The Fifth Column "] subversive now, but not when he wrote it. Hemingway doesn't want to be a T.V. personality. He should be writing a novel. Hemingway worrying a lot. His writing kills the worry: "So I work until I'm dead and that kills the worry and me too." Then he worries about the scandal he may have caused in Venice. "Hell if we could only make some money and me not have to photograph or talk."

Sorry not to have written Zielinski since Malaga. Hemingway has had trouble and has been working very hard. Mary fractured her arm very badly which required drastic surgery. Took much of Hemingway's time. Valerie has helped out a lot but Hemingway is over-worked trying to make up for lost time. They all toasted Zielinski at Christmas and New Year's. Letter in the hand of Hemingway's secretary, Valerie [Danby-Smith]. 6250-g

Antonio going with them because he is not fighting, but more fights later on. All they need is George Plimpton. Will have Hemingway's 60th birthday party. All will go to Valencia.

Telegram. See Hotchner in Suecia the 27th. 6250-f

Two things he can bring: shooting jacket and boat pants. Weather wonderful. Thinks Hotchner can find place he has always been looking for. Terrific ones like on the Riviera before they ruined it. Wonderful to be seeing him soon. 6250-f

Thanks for letters. Hemingway could not find African pictures for him. Nor could he answer his very intelligent questions. Should have two secretaries. Seen 14 bull fights since they got to Spain. Antonio [Ordez] was badly gored on May 30th. Enjoyed magazine and will try to be a good Polish writer. Discusses the things wrongly accredited to him in June 20th edition of Paris Match : "Some of it was interesting. But it was all shit and I did not say it."

Tells of great photographs to be sent to Hotchner and of his experiences. Disaster when Antonio [Ordez] was put into the "can" on picador deal. Nobody stuck with Antonio; picadors used after they had been suspended under other names. He misses ten fights. Mary feeling fine again. Hemingway's brother wanted permission to print his letters, with mother a bitch and father a suicide. Hemingway against using letters of living. Damned if brother dredges up all the trouble Hemingway has been in just to make money. Butter to buy himself, but no Hemingway ever paid blackmail.

Good flight. Mary friendly but holds to same program. Will go to Ketchum to help with Antonio [Ordez] and Carmen on certain conditions: no cooking, and he is not to shoot with Mrs. Gray unless Mary is present. Mary will go to New York to write. Hemingway moves as cheerfully as possible like in a Kafka nightmare. He is bone-tired and very beat up emotionally. Wants to get back to writing. One of the big issues is that he expects others to subordinate themselves to his writing, and thus make them lead lives of drudges. Will tell about the real revolution in Cuba. Hopes United States won't cut sugar quota. He will be amazed at change. 6250-f

Mary sleeps well. Her bones are healing O.K and her cast comes off December 26. Talks about Buick commercials. He thinks them in excellent taste. Will let Finca by January 16th. 6250-f

Correspondence regarding The Dangerous Summer. Also includes correspondence from Life magazine to Ernest Hemingway. Life not to publish [ Dangerous Summer ?] because it will be an appendix to Death in the Afternoon. Life urges him to reconsider; they will mention book. They are publishing Mary's story. Much about rivalry between [Luis Miguel] DominguÍn and [Antonio] Ordez. Hemingway refuses to interrupt present research to do special piece. Much about dickering regarding price, size, etc. Hemingway says hard economics, not vanity, dictates figures. Write regarding Antonio and photographs with Bill Lang. Sent advance payment of $10,000 for bull-fighting article. Discusses Mary's shattered elbow. Life hopes to print article in single issue. Hemingway defends why piece is so long (63,562 words). There are no deaths, so had to build characters, feelings, etc. Can call whole thing off if hard to fit in during election year. Would have been easier if Miguel or Antonio had been killed. Mary pretty well destroyed, but it functioning. Finished at 108,746 words. Will get to work on Scribner book for 1961. 6250-f

Thanks him for tending to business. Getting off tonight. Just signed papers for banking for corporation. Talks about his signature. Thanks for fine pictures. 6250-f

Thanks Hotchner for clippings, etc. Glad show went well. Alfred [Rice] appropriately gloomy. Finished 8,000 words in second part of the piece. Goes good, but it will be better when he can get out in boat and get rid of staleness. Not thinking of Dan's book. No plan for serialization, but Life would have first call since George Plimpton mentioned it to them first. They would be glad to give advance. They did publish The Old Man and the Sea. Mary's arm coming along well with massage and therapy. She is optimistic. Hemingway lives in a sort of vacuum of work. Val is organizing everything properly. Letter in the hand of Hemingway's secretary. 6250-f

Thanks for words on project. Would like to know status of various things. [Evi] Sevaroid comes to lunch and steals you blind, always winning as a man of impeachable ethics. Alfred [Rice] sent some cuttings. Have 17,000 words done on piece since the 25th. Mary's arm is good. Letter in the hand of Hemingway's secretary. 6250-f

Just a note that he received Zielinski's second letter and that Mary's arm is doing better and that he is working very hard. Letter in the hand of Hemingway's secretary. 6250-g

[Gary Cooper] called, enthusiastic regarding After the Storm , but spooked about pictures, due to strike. Thinks it OK to take advance payment on it. Discusses future of screen play. Cooper really wants to go into television. Sorry Hotchner is having trouble with censorship on the "K film" [ The Snows of Kilimanjaro ]. Hemingway wrote it as morally as he could. No fish in gulf, but good cock fighting, swimming, etc. No faith in play unless big sum of money changes hands. All of those bastards have money instead of blood in their veins. Best to think money is counterfeited until it is banked. Letter in the hand of Hemingway's secretary. 6250-f

Thanks for advice, help, etc. Can't give a reading on television situation as is pooped having written Life explaining delay on Mano-a-Mano. Up to 63,562 words, and offering to return advance or re-negotiate. Wrote Scribner's to scratch Paris book from fall list due to overextension of time put in on Mano-a-Mano. Discussion of business matters regarding books and stage productions. Refers to "The Gambler, Nun, and Radio, " which took place in a hospital in Billings, Montana. Glad Hotchner sold "Killers " to German television. Letter in the hand of Hemingway's secretary. 6250-f

Hopes Zielinski has been receiving his letters. Seems that Zielinski did not receive two of his last letters. Feels uneasy about postal communications. Hemingway would never break off a correspondence even though he is a poor correspondent and is working very hard that his friends get "nothing in proportion to his daily work." Let him know when he receives this letter. Letter in the hand of Hemingway's secretary. 6250-g

Thanks for T.V. Guide reviews. Alfred [Rice] so depressing it looks as if he is working for other people. "Coop" [Gary Cooper] is in hospital and going to Naples on a picture. How do the various projects stand? Word count over 92,000. That is much too many. Will finish 20th of this month. Mary's arm progressing well. Discusses his writing. Letter in the hand of Hemingway's secretary. 6250-f

Enclosed $500 check [not present] for apartment expenses and cost of typing and copying bullfight manuscript. Hope his back is fine now. Hemingway feels bad about the "Schoonmaker business." 6250-f

Sending cable to protect from libel. Found out Luis Miguel [DominguÍn] going "hog wild" in Spain on anything to do with horses being sleaved [sic]. The fact everybody knows they are sleaved [sic] means nothing. Legally you would have to prove it and the government won't investigate the ring. Doesn't want to risk Life with any libel suit. Lots of bad stuff going on. Antonio [Ordez] dealing with plenty sordid stuff: "whole set-up bad." Horn cutting worse than ever, but they crack down when Antonio's bulls are involved. Hemingway doesn't feel too good. 6250-f

Sending check. [Belly] in really lousy shape. Make sure Alfed [Rice] pays him. Hopes to clean up work for book. Never was so dead in the head in his life. Starting to pull out of it. 6250-f

Returned to Madrid for four days rest. Discusses Antonio [Ordez] and bullfights. Asks why Hotchner never cashed the $5000 check. Life crossed them up; had arguments over the pictures of bullfights. Hemingway "the laughing stock of anyone who knows anything about bull fighting and has seen piece and regarded as the crook and double crosser of all Time." Numerous problems with pictures of bull fighting: "Would rather be smashed up like in Africa any number of times than have the feeling that page of pictures gave me." Hemingway has to try not to think that he is destroyed as an honest guy. Made both a fool and a double crosser after all his care to be true. For what sum would they let him not publish Spanish edition? 6250-f

Telegram. That many stories is a book. Would ask for seven, not ninety under 5. 6250-f

Telegram. Hotchner should ask for book length price of $100,000, reducing as necessary. Studios value according to the price they pay. Ten stories of his should be expensive package. 6250-f

Telegram. Still waiting. Call, cable when he receives this as he is held there until he hears from Hotchner. 6250-f

Telegram. Will call Tuesday a.m. unless he cables Monday. Antonio [Ordez] greatest. 6250-f

Telegram. Have information that Wald wants film badly. Inform any guests if arrived. No financial problems, no worries. Writing soon. Tried calling." 6250-f

Enclosed is a $1500 check [not present] for Val's [Valerie Danby-Smith] tuition at the Dramatic Academy and living expenses. Hemingway doesn't want Val to arrive in New York with no backing. New York is expensive, not only to live but to eat properly. 6250-f

Impossible for Hemingway to work unless he knows she is all right. Can write him in Sun Valley. He loves her very much and misses her help all the time. A rough fall and "the whole purpose of being here [Ketchum] to work is destroyed" unless he knows she is well. Wishes her luck and know that he loves her and wants everything good for her. 6250-f

Telegram. NWA on strike. Provides directions for Hotchner to get to them. Hemingway tells his weight. 6250-f

Discusses his business talks with Alfred [Rice]. Business transactions. Hotchner had expenses as producer. Hemingway only supplied stories. He is working hard. 6250-f

Hemingway shocked that Alfred [Rice] did not inform him of Zielinski's Pen Club prize for translation of Hemingway's works into Polish. Hemingway was very sick at the Mayo Hospital in Minnesota. Sends belated congratulations. Hemingway a bad correspondent because he has been very ill. 6250-g

Hemingway documents the rights Hotchner has with all Hemingway's writings. 6250-f

Letter regarding agreement Alfred [Rice] sent to Hemingway. Sent copy to Hotchner to sign. 6250-f

Tells Hotchner that letters are scarce, so everyone picks them up and reads them; if he has problems, etc. put them on separate sheet of paper for his eyes only. Working out present book, and has to go day to day on health business. Weight is bit low and wants to be sure on that end before taking on further work and movements. He doesn't want to worry Mary. 6250-f

Thanks for letter. Happy he liked book. Answers his questions about Sidney Franklin and bullfighters. Latter at their best when bullfighting, and at their worst at a place such as United Artists lot with Sam Goldwyn. Likes "the old bugger" very much. Sees him on top of wave, and broke Also. If he sees him, ask him to write Hemingway what he thinks of his book [ Death in the Afternoon ?]. 6250-c

Appreciates the trouble Armstrong has taking for them. Why not drop in and have a drink? Original tipped in The Sun Also Rises , PS 3515. E37 S8 1930 copy 3. 6250-t

"My Dearest Kraut. " Thinks readings will be fine. Hopes London good. Hemingway going back to Finca. Refers to "page 488 on book." Draft of telegram. 6250-f

Christmas greetings. 6250-f

Hemingway proud of Hotchner. 6250-f

On the poetry of Archibald MacLeish. Indicates that he doesn't want to write about MacLeish as he is fond of him. Doesn't believe friends should write about each other's works. States that even those who do not like him or what he writes must see by now that he is a great poet. Autograph note by Archibald MacLeish in upper left hand corner: "Bob: This, of course, is written as an excerpt (in quotes) from a letter to H. M. Co. from E. H.. He sent it to me with apologies for not writing you direct as he is very busy. A." 6250-c

Received Dave Randall's letter and assures manuscript of The Green Hills of Africa is authentic. Jane Armstrong did a wonderful job copying it for Hemingway. She was very poor and broke so Hemingway gave her the manuscript because it would be "worth money some day." Please try to give her all you can for the manuscript. Original letter in autograph manuscript of The Green Hills of Africa. 6250-a

Sends inscription to paste in one of his books. It's a bother to send a book back and forth. 6250-c

Mary asks if Hotchner "is a Papa yet?" Mentions Cosmopolitan treachery. Anne-Marie Cloche thrilled about ballet and plans to go to New York for its opening. Mary broke her leg skiing at Cortina and are delayed in returning to Paris. Sailing March 21. 6250-f

Papa now finished war and chasing part of book and it's magnificent. So different from The Old Man and the Sea, which is a violin solo. With situation more complex and startling, frightening action. Just finished second annual marlin fishing tournament and thinks she could do a really good story about her experiences: ten hours a day for three days. On second day took 240 involuntary shower baths and caught one fish. 6250-f

Ladies Home Journal not interested in her story. Free to sell elsewhere. Discusses Brandt's interest and requirements of Post for story. 6250-f

Discusses her visit to parents and her boredom. They are going to publish The Old Man and the Sea story this fall. Convinced it is purest and best thing Ernest Hemingway has done. Won't offend Carl Brandt, will it? He was so efficient regarding marlin fishing job. Would Today's Woman let her know when they want story, how long, etc.? 6250-f

Compliments him on a good story in Post. His year in Italy gets closer ever day. Life is good with them now. 6250-f

Just "the damndest, worst, dirtiest luck in the world, not even fit to happen to meanest SOBs." Hotchner falls sick and they couldn't operate him soon enough. Mary tells of her own medical problems that caused her inability to have a baby. Contented with practically everything, except McCarthy. P.S. Papa had a lot of internal breakage and a concussion and then another accident in a forest fire. We didn't tell the press. 6250-f

Talks about Hotchner's planned trip to visit them. Hemingway's plan to go over July 2. Sending manuscript with Papa's additions. 6250-f

Regarding possible trip with them through English countryside. Papa's health O.K. now after stringent regime. Ava [Gardner?] came with script for The Sun Also Rises which was a mess. Papa is re-writing. Discusses political affairs in Hungary and Egypt, and is sorry that she is contributing nothing as a member of the human race. "Papa says, 'Never lose faith in the firm.'" 6250-f

Papa healthy again with his cholesterol down. Their plans to stay in their old room on the Ile. Hemingway is "bored shitless" following his health regime. 6250-f

Talks about her burgeoning garden. Medicos put Papa on even a stricter regime than in Paris. No hard liquor at all.

Explains reasons for not writing. Worries about book and hopes it will sell big to Hollywood and television. Hopes Hotchner can manage with 25% income tax for year. Papa started new thing and is working in single-minded devotion. He's in good shape with fine spirits except for massive irritation over Alfred's "boobiest blunder yet." Mary was able to accomplish one thing: getting new road almost saved from billboards. Originally enclosed with Ernest Hemingway to Hotchner, 1958 August 26. 6250-f

"Four rollicking rambunctious weeks of Idaho brand revelry." Tells Hotchner all about their living conditions, the log cabin, shootable birds, deer, etc. Hunted every day.

Snow for Christmas finished duck season, with Papa winding up with three doubles. The day before with three triples. New house is great. Discusses all the Christmas presents. New Year's Eve with Leonard Bernstein, her musical hero, "that all time, record-breaking jerk." He got more insufferable and he was close to having his phony face badly bruised. Heard about Cuba in New York Times and their house is in good shape except for a few blown out windows. Hopes they can get a year or two of decent living before they start mutilating and murdering each other again. Thanks for the gift of the cheese. 6250-f

Can't assess damage done to partnership last summer in Spain by Bill Davis. Doesn't know if it is reparable, but hopes so. Antonio and Carmen happy there. Papa to get to Ketchum November 15th or 16th. 6250-f

Received long letter from Hemingway. More lucid that he's been for some time, harping on finances. He has to buy clothes. Wants to start working and be out of there as soon as he can. She wrote back that Hemingway should not get out until they are sure his cure is complete. Doesn't want repetition of the last three months. Can Hotchner talk to Dr. Cattell about this? She feels Hemingway may need thorough psychoanalysis. Not sure Dr. [Howard] Rome is man to do it, as he never went into depth regarding cause of Hemingway's hallucinations. Maybe transfer Hemingway to Menninger's. Hemingway would have to consent. Repetition of last three months would destroy her in one way or another. 6250-f

Mary claims she is an "Indian giver," as she decided not to send her travel diaries to Hotchner on Hemingway's advice since Hotchner had a healthy memory anyway. Gives the itinerary of their trip. Once she has something he would like, she will send it immediately. 6250-f

Asks Hotchner to use this picture [not present] for the back jacket of his first book. Hemingway told Mary to relay that he finally "butchered them at Auteuil" at the horse races. They are there until January 23rd. 6250-f

Telegram. Can't do it. Will discuss. 6250-a

Wants to talk about it some time. Related to May 20, 1939 TLS Ernest Hemingway to Ralph MacA. Ingersoll. 6250-a

Wired Hemingway thanking him for his letter, but does not have the time to visit him. No reason to continue argument any further. Would rather "talk Ernest [Hemingway] out of letting Glazer do it than I would win a suit from him." We will wait and see what will happen. 6250-a

Checked on Col. Richard Cantwell in "Army Register. " No officer listed with that name. Hopes Papa and Mary got off all right. Heard he had a digestive disorder. Hopes it was a false rumor. 6250-f

Everyone in office read The Torrents of Spring about which Fitzgerald wrote so enthusiastically. Who does he think will buy it? It is such a bitter, vicious caricature of Sherwood Anderson. Too few are interested in intellectual travesty to ensure him sale of 700 or 800 copies. Would be cruel to publish had they wanted to. They may be wrong. Eager to read The Sun Also Rises for publication next fall. Discusses jacket for In Our Time , and says Hemingway wrong to accuse them of exploiting him. He is unknown, and needs blurbs on jacket to attract buyers. It will sell some day, after his first successful novel. Conrad was rejected for ten or fifteen years. 6250-a

Received copy of Speiser's letter, which makes him mad. Discusses his negotiation with Dart and Speiser regarding script. Ingersoll admits that it "is quite true that a playwright's contract gives him the right to insist upon every word of the script that is bought being produced as bought. However, I know of no successful or unsuccessful production which operates on this basis actually." Hemingway apparently not willing to make any concessions. Raising money for production difficult because, since it was a Hemingway play, people "were worried beforehand about how he would behave in rehearsal, and therefore wanted assurances about that behavior, assurances which normally would be taken for granted. Still, Hemingway would be "a hell of a guy to work with, but I nevertheless liked what I saw of him very much." The play should be produced not only because of Hemingway but because of the cause which it is identified. Enclosed in Joseph Losey to Ralph MacA. Ingersoll, 1939 March 24. Dictated 1939 March 23. 6250-a

Enclosing a letter which he dictated yesterday. Ingersoll admits that Hemingway behaved well. Although bad judgment on Hemingway's part, best not to antagonize him because "he is fundamentally too useful a guy."
