TLS signed “Margaret Mitchell Marsh,” two pages, 7.25 x 10.25, personal letterhead, May 25, 1945. Letter to Mrs. T. J. Busey. In part: “As to the information about my Fayetteville connections and ‘important people who are buried in the Fayetteville cemetery’—I do not know if I can be very helpful…As to my own family, I can’t tell you much, for, as you know, my branch (my mother’s side) lived here in Atlanta since the Sixties. My father, who died last summer, was the family historian and he had a great deal of material about his side (the Mitchells and Sweets) which he intended to put into a book some day. As to whether he had anything about my mother’s side of the family I do not know, but doubt that he had much. All his notes and genealogies are put away at my brother’s house…However, the stack of stuff is so formidable and both of us have been so busy and not very well this last year that we have lacked the heart to go into it…If something about our people is to be included in a History of Fayetteville, of course we’d want it accurate, and I know your daughter and her friends would want it accurate too. When they have their material ready, what about writing me again? In the meantime, I’ll see if my brother won’t go through the records and I will see what Miss Erlich at the Carnegie Library can resurrect.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
