Handwritten to-do list accomplished in pencil by Ernest Hemingway, one page, 3 x 5.5, no date. Hemingway jots down various activities for "Saturday" and "Tuesday," including: "Buy Hemp at 11:45," "Uncle Gus's Hotel," "Wire Bill," "729 7th Ave," and other indecipherable entries. In very good condition, with overall creasing, soiling, and smudging to the text.
Gustavus 'Gus' Pfeiffer—often referred to simply as 'Uncle Gus'—was the wealthy uncle of Hemingway’s second wife, Pauline Pfeiffer. He became a key financial benefactor to Hemingway, purchasing his Key West home, underwriting his Paris apartment, gifting cars, and funding the famed 1933-34 African safari that helped shape some of Hemingway’s major works.
