Hemingway Letters Head For Boston

“A collection of intimate letters written by Ernest Hemingway to actress Marlene Dietrich has been donated to the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum. The collection includes 30 letters, telegrams and a Christmas card that were written between 1949 and 1959, as well as early drafts of several Hemingway poems and stories. Under the terms of the gift, donated by Dietrich’s daughter, Maria Riva, the correspondence can’t be opened to the public until 2007. Deborah Leff, director of the library, said Monday she had seen the letters and they were ‘breathtaking.'”
