This is an artificial collection of research copies of mostly personal correspondence from the Ernest Hemingway collection, Personal Papers, Series 2-4, at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library.

This is an artificial collection of research copies from the Ernest Hemingway (EH) collection at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. This artificial collection is organized like the originals. Series 2 is outgoing correspondence from EH, in chronological order; Series 3 is incoming correspondence, organized alphabetically by the sender’s name, and then in chronological order; and Series 4 is Other Materials (Camping Trip, 1916 Notebook). As is typical with Hemingway correspondence, there are many nicknames and artistic descriptions. All the letters and the notebook are handwritten.

In this artificial collection there is one folder of Series 2 outgoing correspondence (copies) from EH to his parents, sister Marcelline, grandfather A.T. Hemingway, and friends Emily Goetzman, Barney Lawrey, and Grace Quinlan. The letters include news of family, friends, social, family events, and farm activities. EH notes ripe vegetables he harvested and pounds of fish including brook trout he caught and sold to Dilworth. In an April 1919 letter to Lawrey EH state that he is not going to marry. In an Aug. 1921 letter to Marcelline he begs her to come north for his wedding to Hadley.

The majority of this artificial collection is from Series 3, incoming correspondence, organized alphabetically by the sender’s name, and then in chronological order. Most of the letters are from EH’s Michigan friends, including the Dilworths and Marjorie Bump Main. There are also letters from his mother, Grace Hall Hemingway, his grandfather, A.T. Hemingway, and siblings, Ursula and Leicester (including brief notes from siblings Marcelline and Sunny), and from a variety of other friends including Jim Gamble.

His Camping Trip, 1916 notebook from Series 4 includes notes about his trip, fishing, and trip accounts.
