1937122606Atlanta 1937. unbound. 1 page 11 x 7.25 inches Atlanta June 29 1937. Rare letter signed "Margaret Mitchell Marsh" declining an invitation to a party because it conflicts with her wedding anniversary in full: "Dear Miss Hall: Sue Myrick forwarded to me your invitation and John and I appreciate it so very much. I know the party will be lots of fun and I only wish we could come but Sunday is our wedding anniversary and we have already made plans to spend it with friends. I admit that the temptation to break this engagement is strong because I liked Milledgeville so much when I was there at the Press meeting. And also I would love to attend your party as Prissy. That is the only role my size would warrant. The costume would be cheap too --just a croker sack and ten cents' worth of shoe polish. We do appreciate your invitation so much and I shall look forward to Sue's description of the party." Two horizontal folds and slight foxing; very good condition.<br/> <br/> unknown
424591897-1988 American Writer Novelist and Translator on a variety of subjects starting by telling him that her husband had "gone North for an advertising convention and I decided to come home because we never like to have both of us out of town at the same time when Father's health is so precarious. Time and again I sat down to write to you but I have been so rushed and weary of spirit that I did not wish to inflict a dull letter upon you. When one member of a famiyl is seriously ill over a long period the world contracts for the rest. so my life during the last year has been spent between hospital Red Cross and home. I went to Smith for my college reunion and for visits with friends in Boston and New York. It did me a world of good only it 'onsettled me in my mind' and made me yearn to go on visiting and traveling. But I just can't get away. Father seems so much weaker. When we have company we put them up at the Biltmore which is the closest hotel to us. I wish you would think over this invitation and understand that when you stay at the Biltmore you are our guests. I wondered how you were doing. I wanted to know about the play. I never did know whether you finished it. and try it out on the Lunts. On of their good friends a well known author told me recently that the Lunts had a never-ending problem of finding the right kind of play. I have always felt that your play would be marvelous for them. the tone of the play was so right as it dealt with the completely normal emotions of adults. In these days there are not too many books or plays about middle aged men and women with almost grown children. The few I know about deal somewhat unhealthily with rather devious minds whereas you are able to portray mature emotions frankly passionate if one must come out flatfootedly and frankly clean. I never like to put my oar in on someone else's business so if the following suggestion does not appeal to you just say no and no harm will be done. I do not claim to know the Lunts intimately. I have seen them perhaps four times and they have had dinner with us. if you'd like me to write them about the play and ask them if they'd like to see it I'd be happy indeed to do this. I wish it were possible for you to have a year off in which to work at the job you are really fitted for. When I was in New York I saw my friend Lois Cole at the Macmillan Company. She had the only news of Herschel any of us have had since he went to Columbia South America. Several months ago she had a letter. asking her to send him a number of books which were collections of American short stories. He wishes to select from all the volumes enough short stories to make one volume and translate them into Spanish - perhaps like the O'Brien or O'Henry collections. I had dinner with the Dowdeys in New York and they asked if I had seen you and lamented that Clifford was having such a time with his eyes. Clifford is desperately trying to get into the army bad eyes or no but he is half through a novel and feels that he should finish it before enlisting. He told me that Kenneth Littauer had been in the air force for a number of months and was now at some field in Mississippi. He is of course over age for flying so I suppose he is doing ground service. Marjorie Rawlings and Norton Baskin were here a month or so ago. Marjorie was speaking as one of a series of lectures for the benefit of the Red Cross. Vincent Sheean was another speaker. We had the Baskins and Sheean for a quite supper in between a cocktail party and Mr Sheean's lecture. The brief meeting showed him an attractive and interesting person. He's now in the army. you'd find him entertaining. People in New York and Boston have at last gotten the idea that we are in a war. Both cities are dim and are crowded with uniforms of every service. It's queer to see Australian airmen on the streets and soldiers in Dutch and Norwegian uniforms and I saw uniforms belonging to God know what country. I am sure entire crews of German submarines could parade on Fifth Avenue and no one would pay them any mind and they would doubtless think them part of the Coast Guard. In connection with Civilian Defense let me present to you Mr and Mrs John R. Marsh respectively Sector Warden and Deputy Sector Warden. John has five blocks under his care and it would be just my luck to have an air raid tonight when he is out of town and I am in charge. It is incredible how much time and paper work is involved in Civilian Defence and how much confusion and worry. Just about the time you get a warden broken in the army snatches him off.I think we will end up by having Civilian Defence completely operated by women." and ends by repeating her invitation for them to visit 3 sides 4to. Margaret Mitchell headed paper Atlanta Georgia 24th June Mitchell wrote only one novel published during her lifetime the American Civil War-era novel Gone with the Wind for which she won the National Book Award for Fiction for Most Distinguished Novel of 1936 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937.

192216240War Office for the Geographical Society 1922. Chromolithograph map. Map of northern Arabia by the Royal Geographical Society in 1922 including Jordan Kuwait and southern Iraq. As one of the first European surveys of the region the map reflects the British government's early efforts to shore up alliances in the area around the time of World War I. The map is likely the work of Douglas Carruthers a cartographer for the British War Office. Caruthers worked alongside Harry St. John Bridgen Philby Gertrude Bell T.E. Lawrence and Captain William Shakepsear the latter of which is noted on the chart. The map detail features altitude contour lines lakes rivers and seasonal stream courses wadis .The chart is presented in three colours showing waters in blue desert areas in brown and place names roads and railways in black. The Jaffa-Jersualem railway fragment is included along with the Hejaz Railway running through Amman in the north and travelling south to Medina. This railway was intended to extend to Mecca but World War I halted efforts to complete it. The Nefud Desert and its prominent dunes are depicted in the centre of the map. Caruthers has added overprinted notations in red to highlight the successes of Captain William Shakespear who was the first European to map the north-central part of the Arabian Peninsula. His journeys from 1910-1914 helped to map the previously unchartered Nefud and also established Shakespear's relationship to Ibn Saud who went on to become the King of Arabia therefore cementing the British political links to the ruling family.
