<b>310. MARGARET MITCHELL </b>Fine content, lengthy T.L.S. "<i>Margaret</i>" on her personal letterhead, 3pp. 4to., Atlanta, May 14, 1938, to Herschel in small part: <i>"...I feel sad at hearing Donny's death...he was a beautiful kitten...Thanks for the column about the Pulitzer awards...I'm so glad you spoke up for `Paradise'. I read it when it first came out and liked it so very much. It had solidity and a three-dimensional quality not often found in historical novels...When are you going to Bread Loaf?...This isn't so much of a letter for I must gallop down to The Macmillan Company office to confer about the visit of Willie Snow Ethridge, wife of Mark whom I think you knew in Mississippi. The Macmillan Company is bringing out Willie's first novel on Tuesday...[Wednesday 18th]...I expected to get this off the day I wrote it...I had a letter from Mr. [David] Selznick recently, saying he would go into production positively `between now and September'. Did you see `Jezebel'? I liked it so very much...I do not see similarities between it and GWTW except for costumes and some dialogue about the approach of the War. I do not feel that I have a copyright on hoop skirts or hot-blooded Southerners...Harold Latham dug up a manuscript here about which The Macmillan Company is quite excited. Harry Lee, the young author, is only twenty-four years old...I believe it is a story of adolescence in Atlanta and the name is `Fox in the Cloak'...</i>". Folds, else boldly signed and very good.<b>$1,000-1,500</b>
