Description

Mitchell meets literary friends while on a "motor trip through the orange belt of Central Florida"—"the nicest vacation we have had since 'Gone With the Wind' was published"

TLS signed “Margaret Mitchell Marsh,” one page, 6.75 x 9, personal letterhead, January 21, 1941. Letter to "Judge McMahan," in part: "By heroic self-control my secretary and my cook managed not to eat the pears you sent me. They wrapped them carefully and put them in the refrigerator, and they were in fine condition when we returned from our trip…You were so kind to think of us in this lovely way and we are very gratefully. We have just returned from a motor trip through the orange belt of Central Florida—a real full-length vacation of three weeks. It was quite the nicest vacation we have had since 'Gone With the Wind' was published. Our other trips have been brief and we were both so tired we could hardly enjoy them. This time we visited several writing friends we had not seen in hears and had the sort of fun that appeals most to talkative people—arguing through the nights with congenial people over many cups of strong coffee." Attractively double-matted and framed with a portrait of the author to an overall size of 16 x 26.5. In fine condition. A desirable, boldly signed letter with a reference to her great Southern novel.
