"Thank you so much for the time and the interest you gave to the problem of 'Gone With the Wind' in foreign parts. I came away from our meeting with a lighter heart. I look up that pleasant meeting as about the only pleasant thing since this trouble began. . . . I think you and Senator Duffy and Senator Pittman were most kind to give me so much time."
In her letter to Mr. Van Deene dated December 21, 1937, Mitchell explains her belief that U.S. authors should enjoy better international copyright protections and complains that her book was not sufficiently protected (Christie's New York, 24 July 2002, lot 277).
