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 Mitchell Marsh,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, February 4, 1949. Apologetic letter to a collector who sent a Portuguese copy of Gone With the Wind to be signed. In part: “I am sorry to learn…that your copy of ‘…E o vento levou’ was lost in the mail…The loss of your book in the mail provides an example of why I do not autograph. You wrote several letters requesting an autograph and each time you were told I do not autograph. In spite of this, you mailed your book to me for an autograph. I was as careful as anyone might be in mailing it back to you, but now you write that you have not received it. All I can say is that I am very sorry.” In fine condition, with light diagonal strips of toning to body and lightly affecting signature, and a few creases and wrinkles. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
