True At First Light: A Fictional Memoir
New York. 1999. July 1999. Scribner. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. ISBN:0684849216. 320 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph by Joan Baron. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Both revealing self-portrait and dramatic fictional chronicle of his final African safari Ernest Hemingway�s last unpublished work was written when he returned from Kenya in 1953. Edited by his son Patrick who accompanied his father on the safari TRUE AT FIRST LIGHT offers rare insights into the legendary American writer in the year of the hundredth anniversary of his birth. A blend of autobiography and fiction the book opens on the day his close friend Pop a celebrated hunter leaves Ernest in charge of the safari camp and news arrives of a potential attack from a hostile tribe. Drama continues to build as his wife Mary pursues the great black-maned lion that has become her obsession. Spicing his depictions of human longings with sharp humor Hemingway captures the excitement of big-game hunting and the unparalleled beauty of the scenery - the green plains covered with gray mist zebra and gazelle traversing the horizon cool dark nights broken by the sounds of the hyena�s cry. As the group at camp help Mary track her prize she and Ernest suffer the �incalculable casualties of marriage� and their attempts to love each other well are marred by cruelty competition and infidelity. Ernest has become involved with Debba an African girl whom he supposedly plans to take as a second bride. Increasingly enchanted by the local African community he struggles between the attraction of these two women and the wildly different cultures they represent. inventory #26770 ISBN: 0684849216. hardcover

Hemingway Ernest & Pauline
TWO SIGNED CHECKS: ONE SIGNED BY ERNEST THE OTHER BY PAULINE: MATTED AND FRAMED TOGETHER WITH A PHOTOGRAPH
Check No. 62 for $200 in Hemingway's hand and signed by him drawn on The National City Bank of New York September 14 1932 and made payable to Sarah E. Dousman. The online Guide to the Ernest Hemingway Collection at The John F. Kennedy Library Boston MA records an undated 4-page letter from Dousman in Red Lodge MT to Pauline but does not elucidate its contents or her relationship to the Hemingways. However the main character Robert Jordan in FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS hails from Red Lodge which was a favorite vacation spot of Hemingway's so perhaps they knew each other or conducted business during his visits there. Together with Check No. 176 for $100 made out to "Cash" on May 22 1933 and signed by Pauline. Matted and framed together with a copy of the well-known AP images of Hemingway arriving in New York on an oceanliner in 1934 with "second wife Pauline 'Fife' Pfeiffer." Checks are approximately 2.5 x 6.5"; photo is approximately 6 x 6" and frame is approximately 12.5 x 21". Altogether near fine. unknown

HEMINGWAY Ernest.
Typed letter signed to his commanding officer during the Great War.
A.R.C. Hospital: "Somewhere in Milano" 31 July 1918. One page octavo typed on one side only. Housed in a marbled paper flap-case. Lightly creased where folded. In excellent condition. Remarkable chatty and amusing letter dating from the period of Hemingway's convalescence from a wound sustained on the Italian front signed in pencil and with an autograph note in his hand; reprinted in The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: 1907-1922 pp. 122-23. The recipient Captain James Gamble was a field inspector with the American Red Cross Rolling Canteen Service for more information on Gamble see an article by Gary Brenner in The Hemingway Review Volume 20 Number 1 Autumn 2000 ' "Enough of a Bad Gamble": Correcting the Misinformation on Hemingway's Captain James Gamble'. "Dear Capitano; Salute! On our front there is nothing to report. On our rear however all is healed and the bandages have been removed." "The chief of Section Four asked for volunteers to man the chain of canteens the Red Cross was setting up under the command of Captain James Gamble in the Oiave River Valley north of Venice. The canteens would offer coffee soup candy and cigarettes to off-duty soldiers and provide them with a place to write letters and listen to phonograph records. Until the canteens were operational the tenente in charge would be expected to bicycle up to the front twice a day and pass out cigarettes and chocolates to the troops. Ernest immediately volunteered for he had heard that the fighting along the lower Piave was the most intense since the Italian defeat at Caporetto the previous autumn. Ernest did not appear in the mess hall on the night of July 8. Instead he rode his bicycle far out along the west bank of the Piave to see what he could do for the morale of the men in a forward listening post. While he was passing out chocolates in a dugout a trench mortar shell exploded a few feet away. Many years later he declared that the passage describing the wounding of Lieutenant Henry in A Farewell to Arms was an accurate account of what had happened to him. Attendants stripped off his trousers and the medical captain commenced dictating to the sergeant-adjutant while he worked. 'Multiple superficial wounds on the left and right thigh and left and right knee and foot. Profound wounds of right knee and foot. Lacerations of the scalp. with possible fracture of the skull. The captain removed as many scaggia from the Tenente's legs as he could under the circumstances gave him an antitetanus shot and a snort of brandy and bandaged him up. From the dressing station he was transported by ambulance to a field hospital. Here he remained swathed in bandages for several days before being sent on a train to a newly established American hospital in Milan for surgical removal of the remaining shell fragments" Kenneth S. Lynn Hemingway 1987 pp.79-80. Also present is a 2-page letter from the Philadelphia bookseller Charles Sessler offering this letter with a group of other Hemingway letters to a Mrs Henry M. Watts Jr headed paper dated 19 July 1966 A.R.C. Hospital: "Somewhere in Milano", unknown

Old folds overall very good with accompanying envelope addressed in Hemingway's hand. One page with 5-line postscript in blue ink on sheet of personal stationery. 1 vols. 8vo. The Hemingways on a Diet. George Brown owned a gym in New York City where Hemingway worked out when he was in the town and he and George Brown became fast friends Brown serving as his trainer and boxing coach as well as supplier of sporting goods ticket agent and general factotum to Hemingway Martha and later Mary while they were in Cuba. A relaxed and contented Hemingway writes to his friend Brown basking in the financial success of FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS newly married to Martha Gellhorn happy with his recently purchased home in Cuba: "Thank you ever so much for the things. They all came through the customs okay and Martha's shoes have made a big improvement in her tennis. She beat me 6-3 for a dollar and today I think I can get her on the court for two dollars. We'll see what happens. She is down to 127 and I'm stuck at around 215 and can't get under it probably because of no big fish to boil the fat off the inside. It's been very quiet since you left and no more shouts of 'Brown's deuce' and other rare methods of counting at tennis . I'll try and get in good shape before we come to New York so oil up your bicycle. Don't try to come off the ropes holding with that right hand because I've thought up something terrible to have happen . Martha sends her love."
