TLS signed “Margaret,” one page, 5.75 x 9, personal letterhead, May 3, 1939. Letter to an associate named Franklin regarding a letter received by Mitchell. In full: “I am enclosing a letter I recently received, for I thought some of the information in it might be of interest to you. Because of the manifold errors in the letter I have doubts as to the lady’s statement that her father was the first white child born in Atlanta. You will notice that she says her grandfather had fifteen hundred slaves and the plantation covered the ‘whole of Dahlonega County.’ I believe at that time there were about five thousand people in the county of which Dahlonega is the seat. However, knowing your interest in such matters, I am passing the letter on to you. Please return it when you have finished reading it.” Triple suede matted and framed with two portraits of Mitchell to an overall size of 29.5 x 18. In fine condition. Oversized. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
