Rare Margaret Mitchell autograph letter signed, dated 1 December 1935 from Atlanta, Georgia, just two months before completing ''Gone With the Wind.'' Here, Mitchell writes to a ''Lola'' offering a bibliography of authors -- particularly women authors and historians of Georgia -- used in writing her novel. Reads in part: ''…About the 'War and Reconstruction' women writers we were discussing in the Ladies Johnny when so rudely interrupted by conversation on Man's future destiny and present plight - I cannot find my bibliography. But I have clawed my memory in to some activity and I think one book was 'The War Time Diary of a Georgia Girl' by Eliza Francis Andrews. Another was 'A Woman's War Time Journal' by Dolly Sumner Lunt (Mrs. Thomas Burger). A third was 'Life in Dixie During the War' by Mary Gay. I have read so much of this period during the last year that I can not exactly remember whether these writers lived in Fulton or DeKalb counties or in more distant places…'' Letter measures 7'' x 11'' on two pages with toning throughout and separations beginning at folds. Overall in very good condition.
