"Character dolls of 'Scarlett'
Margaret Mitchell Typed Letter Twice Signed. One page, 7" x 10.75", Atlanta, Georgia; August 8, 1939. Writing to a Mrs. Whitfield, the American author expresses her concerns about potential copyright infringement: "As to the character dolls of 'Scarlett' which you would like to make, I believe it would be a good idea for you to write the motion picture people about this .... they might consider that the dolls you propose to make would trespass on their rights." Signed "Margaret Mitchell Marsh", adding a second signature beneath, "Mrs. John R. Marsh". With a lengthy holograph post script: "Last year I had a charming letter from a Jackson girl, Marina Whitfield Alexander. If she is a relative of yours, please give her my regards." Flattened folds and just a touch of toning.
