The Authors - Special File consists of materials pulled together by Gingrich most probably because of their special meaning to him. These are his files on F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. The Fitzgerald files cover the years 1934 to 1939 and consist of telegrams, correspondence, and copies of the "Pat Hobb" stories that the author wrote for Esquire. Much of this material is photocopied. The Ernest Hemingway files date from 1933 to 1939 and include correspondence and typed drafts of articles written for Esquire, notably "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." Most of the correspondence is also photocopied, but the drafts of articles are original.
