[Charles Agvent]

MITCHELL, Margaret. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS). Atlanta, GA, 4 Feb. 1949. 
Fine single-spaced two-page TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) of @700 words 
written just six months before Mitchell's untimely death at the age of 
48 after being struck by a speeding automobile while crossing Peachtree 
Street. Written on her personal stationery and SIGNED "Margaret Mitchell 
Marsh" to Dr. C. E. Mayos. Personal content, in part: "We were sorry, 
too, that you were routed through our poorer section and missed seeing 
the residences which are Atlanta's chief charm." Mitchell discusses her 
husband's health and inquires as to why Dr. Mayos has retired and is in 
Florida, prefacing her inquiry by remarking, "It is not our habit to 
speak out about the personal affairs of other people." Mitchell compares 
Georgia to Florida and tries to convince the doctor to move to Georgia: 
"Our state is the largest east of the Mississippi, a sparsely settled 
one for such large territory, and we are very short of doctors." Normal 
mailing creases. About Fine with original typed envelope. 		$2,500.00
