Description: 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. Typed letter signed “Margaret Mitchell Marsh”, August 2, 1940, personal stationery, sent from Atlanta, Georgia, to Judge Leonard Harl McMahan of Salem, Oregon, in full: Thank you for the generous stack of post cards you sent me. You chose them with an eye to showing me your state from the mountains to the sea, and I have enjoyed them so very much. I am especially glad to have the kodak picture of you on horseback. Being feminine and curious, of course I wondered what you looked like and I confess that I plied your friend with questions when I called on her during her visit to Atlanta. She told me, among other pleasant things, that you were most distinguished looking, and this kodak picture bears our her words. I know you are a Westerner, so do not take it amiss when I tell you that you look very much like our North Georgia people. Perhaps that’s because this section was mainly settled by people with Irish and Scotch names. I certainly enjoyed my visit with your friend and I am glad you told her to look me up. She told me a great deal about your section which was news to me. I had to admit my ignorance and confess that I thought Oregon had vast redwood forests. Age toning, top edge with wear, a few marks within text block. Nice full-name signature. We authored the Presidential Autographs chapter in the 7th Edition of The Sanders Autograph Price Guide.
