Bank check, 6.5 x 3, filled out and signed by Hemingway, payable to First National Bank of Key West for $200.00, February 3, 1933. In very good condition, with a central vertical fold, expected cancellation holes, and show-through from stamp on reverse, as well as a second stamp, affecting portion of signature. After his return home from safari Hemingway started writing The Green Hills of Africa.
