Beschreibung:

Typed letter signed ("Margaret Mitchell Marsh"), to Miss Black, telling her that "I have just received your letter of January 6th, in which you wrote of re-reading 'Gone With the Wind' in bomb shelters during raids" and thanking her "for realizing how much your letter would mean to me" and writing "at a period in your life when you must have many more serious and important things to do"; assuring her that "Your letter meant a great deal to me as the author of 'Gone With the Wind' but even more to me as Margaret Mitchell Marsh, a woman" as she is glad that "something I wrote had diverted and interested an Englishwoman through a dreadful period"; explaining that she is currently working at the Red Cross making garments for women and children, pajamas for the wounded and surgical dressings, all of which go to England; and concluding: "So you can understand that I, like thousands of other Americans, have England constantly in mind. I will take your letter to the Red Cross and read it to my fellow-workers. I hope you do not object. Your words will not only interest them but make them realize afresh the courage of English people", 1 page, printed heading 'Margaret Mitchell', upper part pasted into a well-read reprint of the Macmillan London edition, bearing the ownership inscription of Dorothy Black, some staining from glue and otherwise, but otherwise in sound condition (seemingly amenable to conservation), 4to, Atlanta, Georgia, 3 February 1941
