Interest in the dramatic episode of Hemingway’s life resurfaced last week when a Los Angeles auction house sold a four-page letter Hemingway wrote to his lawyer in 1954 as he recovered from the crashes.The letter, which Hemingway signed “Ernie” and scribbled while his right arm still cramped from the burns, has now sold for $237,055, Nate D.
Hemingway’s letter, which the auction house said was written in April 1954 from a Venice hotel, appeared to show the writer in good spirits as he recovered from his injuries. He spent much of the correspondence to his lawyer discussing personal business, including payments to a collection agency regarding a purchase of hunting rifles.But Hemingway also described his injuries in grisly detail.
