[ROOSEVELT, Eleanor] GELLHORN, Martha. THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEN. New
York:  William Morrow & Company 1936. Second Printing of the  author's
second  book,  a  collection of short stories. Introduction by  H.  G.
Wells.  ELEANOR  ROOSEVELT'S COPY INSCRIBED and SIGNED to her  by  the
author  on the front endpaper: "For/Mrs. Roosevelt/with gratitude  and
devotion./Martha  Gellhorn."  Gellhorn,  the   third  wife  of  Ernest
Hemingway  and the only one to leave him, was an accomplished  fiction
writer  but was best known for her groundbreaking journalism as a  war
correspondent.  The London Daily Telegraph hailed Gellhorn as "one  of
the  great war correspondents of the century; brave, fierce and wholly
committed  to  the truth of the situation." This book is a  report  in
the  form  of four short stories on the Relief program  in  industrial
areas,  a  result of Gellhorn's hiring by Harry Hopkins,  director  of
the  Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Through her work on this
book,  she  met  the President and Eleanor Roosevelt, who  became  her
lifelong friend. About Very Good, lacking the dustwrapper.    $1000.00
