Annotation
Contributes to the ongoing debate regarding Margot’s culpability in the death of her husband by citing a newly published letter from Hemingway to gun enthusiast Milford Baker in which the author notes the sensitivity of the Mannlicher’s trigger and his concern that it could lead to a future accidental shooting, which seem to support the vindication of Margot.
