...From the old Ojibway scholar-Ernest Hemingway," wrote the author himself, inscribing a first-edition copy of The Torrents of Spring to Dr. Don Carlos Guffey, the obstetrician who twice officiated as Hemingway became a Papa. In one of two copies of The Sun Also Rises (1926), Hemingway noted for Dr. Guffey that "the first draft of this book was commenced on my birthday-July 21 in Madrid and it was finished September 6 of the same year-in Paris," and, in the other, that the novel is a "little treatise on promiscuity including a Few Jokes and much valuable...
