TLS, one page, 7 x 11, personal letterhead, October 1, 1936. Letter to psychiatrist Dr. [C.E.] Mayos. In part: “I do not know what the movies will do to ‘Gone With the Wind’. However, I will have no part in it, having sold the picture rights outright. I am not going to Hollywood. There have been so few pictures which portrayed successfully any psychological reactions of characters that I fear the worst. When Scarlett appears on the screen, she will probably emerge as that type which used to be called ‘a saucy minx.’” In fine condition, with intersecting folds. Although she had no say in the casting or production of the film adaptation, Mitchell was rumored to favor Miriam Hopkins for the role of Scarlett—deemed too old for the part, Hopkins was never considered. Any Mitchell letter featuring Gone With the Wind content is extremely desirable, this one even more so with its wonderful commentary on the iconic Scarlett O’Hara.
