Martha Gellhorn Letters to George "Sandy" Gellhorn, 1968-1974
Consists primarily of letters from Martha Gellhorn to her adopted son George "Sandy" Gellhorn in the late 1960s and early 1970s. There are approximately fifty letters totaling about 160 pages; they are primarily typed, though some are handwritten on hotel stationary. Written from St. Louis, Missouri; Frankfurt, Germany; London, England; and Naivasha and Mombasa, Kenya, Gellhorn's letters are intimate, detailed, and often lengthy. Among their topics are Gellhorn's memories of visiting concentration camps, progress and roadblocks in her writing, her relationship with ex-husband Ernest Hemingway and other relatives, as well as her impressions of current events, including the Vietnam War and related protest movements, the 1968 presidential election, and the Apollo 11 moon landing. Gellhorn also frequently expresses concern over Sandy's lifestyle and offers advice and warnings about love, finding an occupation, and drug culture. A thirty-seven-page sequence of letters written over a month-long period in autumn of 1969, which Gellhorn wrote as a journal of her time in Kenya, contains a thorough narration of her life in Naivasha, as well as reflections on her ex-husband Ernest Hemingway.
