Description

"As to how the 'Wind' in my title is pronounced, it is pronounced to rhyme with 'sinned'"—kind letter of explanation from Mitchell, dated five months after the publication of Gone with the Wind

TLS, one page, 7 x 11, personal letterhead, December 8, 1936. Letter to Mrs. Sewell, in full: "I remember your first letter with so much pleasure and your second letter was even more pleasant, when you wrote me that you knew my relatives in New York. I have not seen them in some time but they were very dear to me, and Mrs. Elliott was one of my mother's favorite cousins. As to how the 'Wind' in my title is pronounced, it is pronounced to rhyme with 'sinned.'" In fine condition, with a block of light toning from prior display. An appealing explanatory letter from Mitchell that dates to five months after the publication of her famed novel, Gone with the Wind.
