MITCHELL, Margaret TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS)
Atlanta, GA 7 Dec. 1937 Fine 3-1/4-page letter of @750 words on Mitchell's stationery with several manuscript corrections and seven words added in her hand. To Herschel Brickell, a noted book reviewer from Mississippi who served on the New YorkHerald Tribune book section and who was a reviewer for the New York EveningPost at the time of this correspondence. Mitchell discusses travel plans, visits, and preparations for the movie production of GONE WITH THE WIND: "Several days after I wrote you a story appeared in a New York paper that the actress, Gladys Hansen, Atlanta-born, now a dramatic coach, had been engaged by Selznick to coach Southern accents." Mitchell comments on the choice of Lenore Ulric to play Belle: "I wondered sadly where the blowzy, common, good-hearted Belle had gone." Mitchell writes a paragraph about herhat, "the giddy and idiotic headgear I am nervously trying to balance on myhead," before commenting on her book and its effect on her life: "GWTW is quieting in New York, if I may judge from the best seller list where I am now in twelfth place.... I'm tired of avoiding autograph hunters, people who want me to make speeches, candid cameramen and reporters who want to know very peculiar things which really are none of their business." Much more. SIGNED "M" by Mitchell. All the letters to Brickell we have seen weresigned by Mitchell as "Margaret" or "M," an indication of the close relationship she had with him. Not in Harwell's MARGARET MITCHELL'S "GONE WITH THE WIND" LETTERS, though many others to Brickell are. Normal creases from mailing, otherwise Fine.
