(https://hemingway-pfg.blogspot.com/p/the-hemingway-enigma-preface.html). I don’t, as many still seem to, worship at the Hemingway shrine.<br /><br />The point of this comment - and I hope it comes to your attention - is first, to congratulate you on the amount of material you have gathered, not least the many stats of cuttings. I know he can sometimes be frustrating and you have done a comprehensive job.<br /><br />Secondly - and I am sure you are very busy, so I have few expectations - if you were to take a look at the website and anything occurred to you, I would be very pleased to hear it. Everything can always be improved and you might spot something that is eluding me.<br /><br />Finally, I spent my working life as a hack, first as a reporter (for six years) then as a sub and for the final 28 years of my 'career' I worked for the Daily Mail (though as a perpetual 'casual'). I mention that because Monks was also a Mailman.<br /><br />Perhaps I might hear from you,<br /><br />Patrick Powell<br /><br />PS If you spot the email 'another287@gmail.com' I should explain that I have several addresses for different purposes and that one began life as my 'spam' email. The trouble was that my blogs, including are now registered under that Google email and I've tried every way but can't change it.pfg powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17407148810847119242noreply@blogger.com
