CHURCHILL, Winston S. Three typed letters signed (“Winston S. Churchill,” “W.” and “W.S. Churchill”), to G. N. Barnes, 14 April 1925; to Max Aitken (Lord Beaverbrook) 6 June 1958; and C. Adams August 1964. Together 3 pages, 4to, Treasury and Chartwell stationery (punch holes on left margin of 1958 letter) . THE 1940 CLUB AND A HARROW TANKARD Churchill’s middle and later years are represented in these three fine letters. He arranges with Beaverbrook a dinner of “the 1940 Club, at Claridges,” and is glad “you were not bored stiff by the dinner last night.” He also alludes to an exchange of articles by the Soviet expert Marshall D. Shulman and Robert Edwards. The 1964 letter has the poignant combination of the elderly Churchill, signing in a shaky hand, and hearkening back to his youth by thanking Adams “for your most kind thought in sending me the old Harrow Tankard.” In return he sends him a copy (not included) of My Early Life , “which I have signed for you.” As Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1925 he thanks Barnes (with a bold, vigorous signature) for a report on “the question of Parliamentary candidature.” Together 3 items .
