[Rarebooks] FS: Fine Margaret Mitchell SIGNED Letter: "It is not our habit to speak out about the personal affairs of other people."

[Charles Agvent]

MITCHELL, Margaret. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS). Atlanta, GA, 4 February 
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. (#014001)        $2,500.00
