THE HEMINGWAYS' COPY.
FIRST EDITION. INSCRIBED BY ERNEST TO HIS COUSIN, RUTH LOWRY: "Dear Ruth: – This is really a 2nd hand book because it was the gift of Captain Louis Henry Cohn – the great bibliographer – Pauline didn't like it but Shaw and Terry and Captain Colen and Lawrence Stallings all did – so you may find something in it. I have not read it. They must have been very sure how great they were or very careful to have kept all the letters and been able to find them. – Ernest."
Property from a Private St. Louis Collection
