TLS signed “Margaret Mitchell Marsh,” one page, 7.25 x 11, personal letterhead, February 16, 1939. Letter to Harry Haggas in England, in part: "Thank you so much for your letter and the many nice things you wrote me about my book. Naturally, it pleases me very much to know that an English reader is interested in Scarlett and her friends. No, I do not intend to write a sequel to 'Gone With the Wind,' for, to tell the truth, I do not know what happened to my characters after the last page.
Since your letter was written you have doubtless have read in English newspapers that the part of Scarlett in the film has been assigned to Miss Vivien Leigh, an English actress. I have never seen Miss Leigh on the screen, as her only American film was 'A Yank at Oxford' and I missed it. Her photographs show her to be a very charming young woman. I understand from reading our newspapers that production on the film began on January 13th and is being pushed rapidly. Clark Gable has the part of Rhett; Leslie Howard, Ashley; and Olivia de Havilland, Melanie." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
