First Edition. Paperbound, single sheet, folded. One of 300 copies specially printed for distribution at the Hemingway Symposium, University of South Carolina, Sept. 21 - 22, 2001.

Speiser, in which Perkins relays advance judgment from Hemingway's publisher, on his new novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls. Perkins writes: ÒDear Maurice Speiser, Here is a report, confidential, about Ernest's progress, from Charles Scribner; Ô...It is really a swell novel...It has great unity...You don't want to put it down...It is to a great extent a love story and there is no propaganda about Spain. Ernest has lost none of his fire or his close knit style, but he has gained warmth and understanding...He is now working hard on the last morning and doesn't quite see his ending yet.' ...Ever sincerely yours, Maxwell Perkins.Ó Above the Scribner's letterhead, Perkins has hand-written and underlined ÒVery Confidential.Ó
