Marsh (Margaret Mitchell) , nationally known author had just arrived in San Antonio from Mexico City. With this item you published a photograph with the caption 'Margaret Mitchell Back to Hollywood'.

The photograph you published is not my photograph and does not resemble me in any manner. (...) " ; 2 pages
