MITCHELL, MARGARET. Typed letter signed ("Margaret Mitchell Marsh") to Martha Angley. Atlanta, 20 May 1936. Half page, small folio, with a half page typed postcript with typed initials on a second sheet all single-spaced, on her imprinted stationery, with original envelope with typed address, both letter and envelope laminated. "I HOPE...'GONE WITH THE WIND' IS MY LAST BOOK." Mitchell writes after having met Martha Angley and just after publication of the book: "...I have been rushed recently with our of town guests, letters, the English contract and checking the book for errors to be corrected in the next edition. You ask if I intend to continue writing. If God lets me keep what little brain remains to me I will never write another book or another line. If I'd known how much grief this last one entailed, I'd never have dreamed of writing it. So I hope fondly that Gone With the Wind is my last book..." In her postscript Mitchell writes that "Mr. Latham, vice president of Macmillan Publishing Company, the editor who bought my book," will be in town "looking for more Southern manuscripts -- not necessarily about the Southern scene -- but by residents of the South." Mitchell inquires if Angley has a manuscript or knows anybody who does: "You see, it would be such a feather in my cap if I unearthed some good manuscript..."
