American author (1900–1949) whose single novel, Gone With the Wind, became one of the best-sellers of all time and spawned one of the most fabled movies in Hollywood history. She died after being struck by a speeding car at the age of 48. TLS, signed “Margaret M. Marsh,” one page, 7 x 11, personal letterhead, March 1, 1939. In full: “I am returning the clippings, which I enjoyed much. Thank you for letting me see them.”; and a clipped signature, “Mrs. John Marsh, 1268 Piedmont Ave N.E., Atlanta, Ga.,” on a light brown 4 x 2 slip clipped from the return address area of an envelope. Scattered light toning and foxing to letter, and a light pencil notation to top, otherwise fine condition. The immense popularity of her 1936 novel spawned the release of the theatrical version of Gone With the Wind, which premiered in Atlanta on December 15, 1939. Future president of the United States Jimmy Carter recalled that weekend of festivities ‘at the end of the year the biggest event to happen in the South in my lifetime,’ as over one million people came to Atlanta to participate.
