Ernest Hemingway letters to his family, 1901-1957 (bulk 1917-1954)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/754957359

The collection contains letters written by Ernest Hemingway to his mother Grace Hall Hemingway, father Clarence Edmunds Hemingway, and sister Madelaine "Sunny" Hemingway Miller. Unlike his very public persona, these letters reveal a different side of Ernest Hemingway in his devotion and generosity to his family. With a break during World War II, the letters cover 1917 to 1957, the broad range of his writing life from cub reporter to Pulitzer and Nobel prize winner. In addition to the letters, the collection contains photocopies of a 1909 typewritten story about killing a porcupine, and a handwritten short story about a cook at a lumber camp. Also includes a clipping about one of Grace's paintings and two letters to Madelaine; and one letter from Clarence to his father A.T. Hemingway, 1901.
