Correspondence to Clara G. Spiegel consisting of nine letters from Martha Gellhorn, 1940-1944; four letters from Ernest Hemingway, 1939-1954; one letter and three cards from Ernest and Mary Welsh Hemingway, 1954 and undated; eleven letters from Mary Welsh Hemingway, 1948-1961; eleven letters from Patrick Hemingway, 1957-1962; and one letter from Denis Zaphiro, July, 1988. Gellhorn’s letters concern her own writing, travels, the war, life with Hemingway and his sons, and Spiegel’s publishing, among other things. In July of 1942 Gellhorn urges Spiegel to help a young Nelson Algren, who is struggling in Chicago. Ernest Hemingway’s letters are primarily about the progress of his writing and advice to Spiegel about hers. Mary Hemingway’s letters also have comments about Spiegel’s writing, but are mostly concerned with her husband’s work, their family and social life, descriptions of their homes, travels and hunting trips. Patrick Hemingway, a “professional hunter and safari outfitter”, corresponded with Spiegel about the hunting trips she took under his guidance, while the letter from game hunter Denis Zaphiro is personal in content. Also in the collection is a small undated color photograph of Hemingway, and a typescript of a eulogy he wrote for a Ketchum friend.
