HEMINGWAY Ernest (1889-1961)

L.S. "Papa", Finca Vigia, San Francisco de Paula, Cuba 29 May 1949, to Roberto
HERRERA SOTOLONGO, Santiago de Cuba| 1 typewritten in-4 page, envelope with his name printed on the flap| in English.
It summarizes the news since the winter in Italy.
Mary broke her ankle skiing. As for him, his blood pressure had gone down during the check-up in Padua, but she was able to come back up with the party they had with Pace Garay,
Don Andres, Sinsky, Gregorio and Guillermot, when the boat arrived. Guillermo is doing well, is playing in Miami, and may play here at the Frontón in September. Elicin's father is against it, he thinks, because of the scandals in Mexico City, but Guillermo still has a good audience here, and if he's in good shape, we'll probably let him play... Hemingway is dismayed that Roberto has to interrupt his career in medicine| but perhaps it is better to study production in the laboratory| it is a pity that he could not continue after having worked so successfully in medical research, and with this good position in New York. If Roberto can overcome the handicap of deafness by acquiring a stethoscope with an integrated hearing aid in the United States, Hemingway will gladly pay him for it... Sinbad's girlfriend, Gloria, is going to marry Jimmy Stewart, the actor.
He has the reputation of being a very nice guy, although Hemingway can't imagine waiting until he's old enough not to get married when you can afford it. But he hopes that they will be happy: Gloria is a really good girl and it will be very good for her not to be tied to that McLean asshole... He gives some news about Sinsky, Gregorio and
Wolfie (including the crash landing of one of his planes), and details about the staphylococcus infection in the hospital of Padova, which became an erysipelas: it was cured with 13 million units of Penicillin. "Casi nada".
