‎Autographed Letter Signed about an alleged Error in Gone With The Wind; about a supposed Chronological Error with Scandalous Effects‎

‎Atlanta Georgia: Margaret Mitchell in reaction to The Reader's Digest & The Atlanta Journal 1949. Original 3 pieces. Envelope. Very Good/Envelope Good. Autograph Letter Penned & Signed characteristically "M.M.M." Margaret Mitchell Marsh by the famed American Author on a Small Folio 8.5" x 14" page copied from "The Atlanta Journal" June 19 1949; with a marginal ink note in the left margin of "The Atlanta Journal" from the recipient Dr. Mayo docketed "July 5 - 1949"; accompanied by the original envelope addressed by Mitchell to "Dr. C.E. Mayos / 612 West 13 St. / Davenport / Iowa." stamp and partial postmark cut away leaving only "5 ATLA. Jul /10.19./ G; with Mitchell's return address on the envelope flap preprinted as: "1268 Piedmont Avenue N. E. / Apartment 3 / Atlanta 5 Georgia." Dr. Mayos has written on the envelope: "Letters from / Margaret Mitchell slight paper loss / Please save." plus a copy of the July1949 edition of "The Reader's Digest" containing a short entry under "Facts to the Contrary"page 18 in which contributor Clemmie R. Galloway pointed out a "discrepancy in time between the death of Melanie's husband in the Battle of Gettysburg July 1 1863 and the birth of her son during the siege of Atlanta September 3 1864." We offer Margaret Mitchell's irritated reaction to a late-blooming literary SCANDAL over whether RHETT Butler had been the REAL FATHER of Melanie's child Because of Mitchell's supposedly faulty internal chronology in Gone With The Wind some readers thought that Melanie's husband Ashley had died at Gettysburg during early July of 1863--more than a year before Melanie had borne a son during the siege of Atlanta on September 3rd 1864. As a consequence of this supposed mistake enthusiasts of the novel and its larger-than-life characters eagerly speculated that dashing Rhett had had a compromising affair with saintly Melanie during her husband's absence! In the July 1949 edition of "The Reader's Digest" contributor Clemmie R. Galloway published a small entry under "Facts to the Contrary" in which he accused Mitchell of a "discrepancy in time between the death of Melanie's husband in the Battle of Gettysburg July 1 1863 and the birth of her son during the siege of Atlanta September 3 1864." The entry was read by many! Galloway went on to say that "When the publisher called Margaret Mitchell's attention to the timing the author was silent for a moment; then she said 'Well I know the Yankees will never change the date of the Battle of Gettysburg and I'm certainly not going to change the date of the Battle of Atlanta.' The publisher moved uncomfortably in his chair 'But--how will we explain it to the public Miss Mitchell' Miss Mitchell shrugged 'Let's hope they will be so interested in the story they will overlook the discrepancy of time if not' she added 'we'll just say that southern women do things more leisurely.'" Penned shortly before her untimely death a few weeks later on August 16th Mitchell penned a quick note in the lower right of this broadside reprinting the June 19 1949 scandalous edition of "The Atlanta Journal" which was headlined "Row Over Melanie's Baby / Peggy Mitchell Hits / Magazine 'Falsity.'" Addressed to "Dr. M" Dr. Mayos a psychiatrist with whom she had corresponded since the mid-1930's Mitchell expressed her disbelief and ire regarding Galloway's slanderous write-up. In full: "Dear Dr. M -- This is one of the reasons why I haven't answered your nice letter. This stupid false hood is causing us a lot of trouble. May be you can figure why they'd print such an error but I can't! Don't forget to let us know before you come through Atlanta next time. We'd love to meet you. M.M.M. meaning: Margaret Mitchell Marsh a characteristic initialled signature used by the author." On the envelope is a penned ink note from Dr. Mayo: "Letter from / Margaret Mitchell / Please save." "The Atlanta Journal "article includes Margaret Mitchell's rebuttal in which she notes that Ashley DID NOT DIE at Gettysburg on July 3-4-5 1863 but "As a matter of fact Ashley never did die in the book." Indeed he was interned as a POW in notorious Rock Island Prison Illinois after which he was released and returned home. As noted we offer three companion pieces: 1 an Autograph Letter Signed by Margaret Mitchell November 8 1900 -- August 16 1949 on a personally embarrassing and aggravating copy of "The Atlanta Journal" headline article from "The Atlanta Journal" sheet with the ink date "july 5 - / 1949" in its left margin. r June 19 1949; & 2 her personal envelope of transmission addressed by the renowned author to a longtime friend psychiatrist Dr. C.E. Mayos of 612 West 13 St Davenport Iowa; annotated by him "Letter from Margaret Mitchell"; plus 3 a copy of "The Reader's Digest" for July 1949 containing the brief entry under "Facts to the Contrary" p.18 about the chronological error supposedly made by Mitchell in Gone With The Wind that had unexpected embarrassing ripple-effects. Condition: Margaret Mitchell's letter is in very good condition with three horizontal mailing folds on "The Atlanta Journal" small folio sheet on which her letter has been penned. The folds have been professionally strengthened verso. Some light soiling and age-toning; faint rust mark from a paperclip upper left corner. Her envelope of transmission has some tears with slight wear and soil. The July 1949 copy of "The Reader's Digest" is surprisingly bright clean and tight. We shall provide a Certificate of Authenticity and another from the party from whom we obtained this very special piece.

‎Gone With the Wind.‎

‎New York: Macmillan 1936. First edition of the author's classic novel. First printing with "Published May 1936" on the copyright page and no mention of other printings. Octavo bound in full morocco gilt titles and tooling to the spine gilt ruled to the front and rear panels marbled endpapers. In fine condition. In 1923 Margaret Mitchell became a feature writer for the Atlanta Journal and in 1925 married John Marsh a public relations officer for Georgia Power. She found most of her assignments unfulfilling and she soon left to try writing fiction more to her own taste. Her own harshest critic she would not try to get her work published. She began to write Gone with the Wind in 1926 while recovering from an automobile accident. Over the next eight years she painstakingly researched for historical accuracy. She accumulated thousands of pages of manuscript. Here is how she later described her life's labor: "When I look back on these last years of struggling to find time to write between deaths in the family illness in the family and among friends which lasted months and even years childbirths not my own divorces and neuroses among friends my own ill health and four fine auto accidents . it all seems like a nightmare. I wouldn't tackle it again for anything. Just as soon as I sat down to write somebody I loved would decide to have their gall-bladder removed. . " In 1934 an editor from Macmillan's Publishers came to Atlanta seeking new authors. He was referred to John and Margaret Marsh as people who knew Atlanta's literary scene. She steered him to several prospects but didn't mention her own work. A friend told him that she was writing a novel but she denied it. On the night before he was to leave Atlanta she appeared at his hotel-room door with her still imperfect mountainous manuscript and left it with him for better or for worse. "This is beyond doubt one of the most remarkable first novels produced by an American writer. It is also one of the best" New York Times. Gone With the Wind is said to be the fastest selling novel in the history of American publishing 50000 copies in a single day and went on to win the Pulitzer Prize. Macmillan unknown books‎

‎Margaret Mitchell Signed Letters.‎

‎1941-42. Two letters signed in full by Margaret Mitchell author on the classic Gone With the Wind. Both letters addressed to Rear Admiral Edward J. Marquart and his wife one dated December 26 1941 the other December 19 1942 each with their original envelopes; both letters refer to the commissioning of the U.S.S. Atlanta. The U.S.S. Atlanta was commissioned at the New York Navy Yard in Brooklyn on 24 December 1941. In the second letter Mitchell says in part "My trip through the Navy Yard was a heartening affair and during this past year when I have sometimes heard people talking in depressed fashion of how far behind the enemy America's production is I have risen up and stated 'If you could have seen what I saw at Brooklyn you would have no fears for our future victory." unknown books‎

‎Typed Letter Signed‎

‎"Margaret" in black fountain pen ink on personal letterhead Atlanta May 3 1939. 4to 3 separate pages. To Mable and Edwin Granberry: " We have been in one of our hurricanes. It all started when Selznick at last announced Miss Vivien Leigh and things are just now quieting down." She then goes on to ponder an invitation to Long Beach New York. On page two she comments on that year’s Pulitzer Prize-winner: "Of course you know about Marjorie Rawlings getting the Pulitzer award. There never was much doubt that she would get it if there was any justice anywhere.I do not know whether the award will keep her too busy to make this trip. The members of the Atlanta Women’s Press Club have asked me to give a party for her should she come as they are all anxious to meet her." Mitchell closes with mention of the book which made her famous: "I was interested in your remarks about finding a GWTW mention in an article written by a Chinese. I did not see the article and if you have to or know who wrote it I’d be interested. As far as I know the book has not been done into Chinese.I am just learning now that it was published in Japan a year and half ago and that it has sold 150000 copies there. I will not get a cent from this because Japan has a treaty with the United States which gives them the right to translate and publish American books without paying royalties to the authors." Mitchell met Edwin Granberry when he wrote an early laudatory review of GWTW; he later interviewed her for his March 13 1937 article "The Private Life Of Margaret Mitchell." They became friends and frequent correspondents see Darden Pyron's "Southern Daughter" for numerous comments. Not in "GWTW Letters."
