Hemingway’s 1961 Hopeful Note to Sister Immaculata During Mayo Clinic Care
Ernest Hemingway, then battling depression and suicidal thoughts, was treated at the Mayo Clinic in 1961 and gave Sister Immaculata a copy of The Old Man and the Sea with a hopeful inscription promising he’d write another great book when his writing luck returned; that copy is now being donated to the Nobel Museum.
