The collection consists of one electrostatic copy of a telegram and three typescript signed letters from Mary Hemingway to Professor Duane J. MacMillan of the University of Saskatchewan English Department and one typescript signed letter from MacMillan to Mrs. Hemingway.

Mrs. Hemingway also writes about some of the contents and the condition of the house during her last visit in 1961, and informs MacMillan that the Kennedy Library houses the majority of Ernest Hemingway's papers and is paying for their processing.
