ALS, two pages, 5.25 x 8.25, August 16, [1927]. Handwritten letter to writer and critic Harry Hansen from the "Hotel Suizo, Santiago de Campostella, Spain," in full: "I'm awfully sorry not to be in Paris—but why don't you come down here? This is a long way the best town in Europe and I'd try and see you had a good time. Come on down and bring Mr. Crowninshield's message with you—but if you can't will you write it to this address? It's really not so impracticable coming down here—you can get a train to Vigo—it's only 2 hrs from there on a bus and you can sail home from Vigo if you want to. It's a grand town and lovely country. Am working here until the middle of September. Would be awful pleased to see you if you've nothing better to do." In fine condition. Hemingway visited Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia, Spain, in 1927 and 1929 while working on his a novel A Farewell to Arms.
