Typed letter signed “Margaret Mitchell Marsh”, August 2, 1940, personal stationery, sent from Atlanta, Georgia, to Judge Leonard Harl McMahan of Salem, Oregon, in full:
Thank you for the generous stack of post cards you sent me. You chose them with an eye to showing me your state from the mountains to the sea, and I have enjoyed them so very much. I am especially glad to have the kodak picture of you on horseback. Being feminine and curious, of course I wondered what you looked like and I confess that I plied your friend with questions when I called on her during her visit to Atlanta. She told me, among other pleasant things, that you were most distinguished looking, and this kodak picture bears our her words. I know you are a Westerner, so do not take it amiss when I tell you that you look very much like our North Georgia people. Perhaps that’s because this section was mainly settled by people with Irish and Scotch names.
I certainly enjoyed my visit with your friend and I am glad you told her to look me up. She told me a great deal about your section which was news to me. I had to admit my ignorance and confess that I thought Oregon had vast redwood forests.
Age toning, top edge with wear. Nice full-name signature.
