Finca Vigía – SF. de Paula 22/7/49.” The recipient, Juanita “Nita” Jensen was Hemingway’s secretary at his home in the San Francisco de Paula Ward of Havana, Finca Vigia, from 1949 to 1952. While working as a secretary at the American embassy in Havana, Nita received government clearance to moonlight as a part-time secretary for Hemingway, typing the majority of his letters between 1949 and 1952. In 1952, she married diplomatic officer Walter Houk at Finca Vigía. In addition to hosting the wedding, Hemingway gave away the bride and cosigned the necessary legal paperwork and the couple became frequent visitors of the finca, often accompanying Hemingway on fishing trips aboard the Pilar and visits to his favorite local bar, the Floridita. Very good in a very good dust jacket with chipping to the crown and foot of the spine. An exceptional association.
