TLS signed “Margaret Mitchell Marsh,” two pages, 7 x 10.25, personal letterhead, February 4, 1949. Interesting letter to "Doctor Mayos," in part: "John and I were very disappointed when we learned that you had been through Atlanta and we had not known of your presence here. We were sorry, too, that you were routed through our poorer section and missed seeing the residences which are Atlanta's chief charm…If John's strength continues to improve, we hope to go to the annual Georgia editors' meeting at Athens…John's health does improve. While his activities are limited at present, we have no complaint to make because this time last year he could barely crawl about the house. Now, thanks to a good doctor and a fine philosophy of life, John is making excellent progress…You may think that seventy is old, but we do not, and we feel that a man of your age and knowledge has much of value to give and that it is a sheet waste if you are not giving it. Perhaps you are not in good health—that we do not know—and perhaps that is why you have come South to a milder climate. But if your health is good and if you like our mild winters, why don't you pick some small North Florida or South Georgia town and go back to the practice of psychiatry. Our state is the largest east of the Mississippi, a sparsely settled one for such a large territory, and we are very short of doctors. We are shortest in the neuro-psychiatric line." In fine condition, with a few light creases and a rusty paperclip impression to the top of the first page.Format: TLS
