MITCHELL, MARGARET
<b>309. MARGARET MITCHELL</b> (1900 - 1949) American author, a Pulitzer Prize winner for her epic novel <i>Gone With the Wind</i>. Fine literary content T.L.S. "<i>Margaret</i>" with lengthy holograph postscript on her personal letterhead, 1p. 4to., Atlanta, Feb. 16, 1938, to Herschel, in part: <i>"...We both enjoyed your long letter. I'd answer it in some detail, except that John and I are actually getting out of town...P.S. Thanks for the Pearl Buck review. I hope to God I never write a book like that!...</i>". She adds in holograph: "<i>As I read between the lines of the review, wasn't your main feeling a personal disappointment? You thought a bit of some of her other books and expected great things? By the way, I intended to tell you long ago - if we ever should get to Washington and should wire you, we'll sign the wire `Maitland' or `Munnerlyn' most likely, the first being one of John's family names and the second one my middle name, and very convenient for people who have their initials stamped on their bags</i>!". Folds and a bit of soiling on verso, else boldly signed and very good.<b> $1,000-1,500</b>
