Description

TLS signed “Yours sincerely, Winston S. Churchill,” one page, 7.5 x 9.5, 28 Hyde Park Gate letterhead, September 13, 1946. Sent from Villa Choisi in Switzerland, a letter to J. H. H. Gaute of publishers George G. Harrap and Co., in full: “Thank you very much indeed for your letter of September 11 and its good news. I am so much obliged to you for the assistance you have given me. When are the new volumes coming out? I am looking forward so much to seeing them.” Churchill adds the salutation in his own hand. In fine condition. Churchill and his wife left Chartwell in late August 1946 for three weeks in Switzerland, staying first at the Villa Choisi, on the shore of Lake Geneva. The press and public were carefully kept at bay while he painted and worked on his war memoirs.
