Story and fragment manuscripts

This series runs from item #222b through item #859. It includes manuscripts, notes, and typescripts for individual short stories, newspaper and magazine articles, poetry, speeches, statements, and fragments.

In addition to "title" and "opening words," entries may also be some names of people, names of newspapers and magazines to which Hemingway contributed, and a few subjects.

Cross-references are provided in the following instances:

1. between double titles (as when Hemingway gave one title to his newspaper articles and the editors gave another)
2. from individual short stories to setting copies of each particular story in a collection
3. between two different but related items
4. between misplaced items. (Some items were incorrectly identified and placed when cataloged. Rather than change item numbers and refile the items, cross-references are used.)
5. from titles of items to other locations in the series when the item appears elsewhere (as for instance on the verso of another manuscript item)
6. from the names of important figures in Hemingway's life to unpublished manuscript items in which their names appear
7. from names of newspapers or magazines to individual articles appearing in them

A typical description for a manuscript item entry includes the following elements:

1. Item Number . Each item has its own number. One story may have several item numbers if there exist a manuscript, a draft typed by Hemingway, a typescript by someone else, galleys, etc. Numbers run consecutively. However, since materials were added to the collection after the catalog was first prepared, it was necessary to insert some new items between established numbers in order to keep the alphabetical sequence and yet not change numbers already given. At first, letters of the alphabet were used, but then, as new entries became more numerous, decimals were used. A sequence, therefore, could run:

654
654.4
654.5
654a
654a.5
654b
655

2. Title or Opening Words . If a title is known, the full title is given. If there is no title, the first words, sufficient to identify the item unambiguously, are given.
3. Form . Manuscript, EH typescript (usually identifiable by his distinctive punctuation spacing pattern), typescript, galleys, notes,etc.
4. Description . Ink or pencil, presence of title, annotations, corrections, dates, word counts, false starts, tears, or other points of interest.
5. Pagination . Naming of pages (placing inserts ahead of their parent pages) and page count. All pages with text, and only pages of text or notes are counted, even if the contents are unrelated. One sheet of paper (leaf) is counted as only one page if it bears text on only one side; but it is counted as two pages when writing appears on both sides.
6.Young/Mann Number . The corresponding inventory
number of the item (if it exists) in The Hemingway Manuscripts: An Inventory (University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1969) by Philip Young and Charles W. Mann.
7. Cross-References . As noted above.
8. Donor . If the donor of the manuscript was someone other than Mary Hemingway the donor's name is given.
