 Hemingway Review, The: Maxwell Perkins's plan for The First 48   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Working largely from Hemingway's letters to his Scribner's editor, Maxwell Perkins, as presented in Carlos Baker's Selected Letters, Smith does a good job of laying out Hemingway's objections to the chronological scheme suggested by Perkins and illustrated in the dummy, even though Smith apparently had not seen either the dummy or Perkins' letter accompanying it.
As Smith notes, drawing upon Hemingway's reply to Perkins, there is no doubt that the author strongly opposed the overall plan presented in The First 48.
But he forestalled that possibility by telling Perkins "I cannot say just when any given story was written but I can check up on enough of them to know that the Cohn order is simply nonsense" (Bruccoli 263).

 The Only Thing That Counts: The Ernest Hemingway/Maxwell Perkins Correspondence 1925-1947
His correspondence with august editor Maxwell Perkins, spanning the businesslike and the personal, has the benefit of focusing on Hemingway's literary career, which sprawled through the Selected Letters (1981).
Here we get to look over their shoulders during Hemingway's early time with Scribner's, in which he often has to defend (and sometimes amend) his use of strong language, starting with The Sun Also Rises, and to battle against cuts in magazine serializations (``Half the writing I do is elimination'').
Amid the quotidian debates about advertising and royalty advances, Perkins also has to insert himself into the Fitzgerald-Hemingway rivalry (Hemingway's side is candid but brutal) and diplomatically participate in literary feuds with Gertrude Stein and others, and critical skirmishes, notably involving Max Eastman, whom Hemingway wrestled to the floor in Perkins's office.
