Description

A note to her nephew, written not long before her untimely passing

ANS signed “John and Margaret Marsh,” one page on the reverse of a color 5.5 x 3.5 postcard featuring a 'Double Barreled Cannon,' postmarked Athens, Georgia, February 20, 1949. A brief note to her nephew Sims Maddox of Atlanta, referring to the cannon on the postcard front, in full: "Dear Sims—this would be nice for your front yard." In fine condition. Mitchell tragically died less than six months after writing this letter when she was hit by a drunken motorist while attempting to cross a street. Most Mitchell autographs on the market are signed typed letters, making this personal handwritten note to her nephew particularly desirable.
