A John Marsh typed letter signed pertaining to Margaret Mitchell and Gone With the WindTyped Document Signed ('John R. Marsh'), 3 pp recto and verso, 4to, Atlanta, July 30, 1936, to Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Granberry and Mr. Herschel Brickell, on plain stationery. Marsh humorously describes himself as 'husband to the newest literary sensation' in this missive which thanks the recipients, friends of Margaret Mitchell, whom Marsh refers to as Peggy throughout, for giving her a safe haven in the midst of the success of Gone With the Wind, which was published in May 1936. Addressing Mitchell's sincere disbelief at the success of the book, he writes: 'Your diagnosis of the book's appeal threw at least some light on what continues to be the greatest mystery of her life–the book's enormous sale.' He also announces that Mitchell has gone to New York to 'take the Selznick scalp' and has signed a contract with him on that very day to produce a film version of Gone With the Wind (1939). Accompanied by a mimeographed letter, 2 pp, to Marsh from his brother Henry, who relishes the instant success of his sister-in-law's novel and requests Mitchell's autograph on several copies.Provenance: the collection of Tom Heyes. 8.5 x 11 in.

Royal patent of George III granting to Sir John Hussey Delaval, Bart, of Seaton Delaval and Ford Castle (Northumberland) and Doddington (Lincolnshire) the title Baron Delaval of Redford, Co. Wicklow. Very fine illuminations - royal portrait and emblems, coats of arms etc., decorated borders. Seal perfect. 76 x 68 cm (diameter of seal 16 cm). In wooden box externally lined with tooled leather (damaged) measuring 74 x 9 cm.The Delavals were wealthy landowners, industrialists and politicians in 18th-century Northumberland, with seats at Seaton Delaval and Ford Castle. Francis Blake Delaval (1727-1771) and John Hussey Delaval (1728-1808) were brothers, but had very different characters: Francis was a notorious but colourful and popular rake who specialised in holding amateur dramatics at Seaton - he received a knighthood in 1761; John developed the industrial potential of Hartley and Seaton Sluice - he was created a baronet in 1761, and was granted an Irish peerage in 1783 and a British one in 1786.
