"One of the Largest Private Collections to Come on the Market"Churchill Letter to MacKenzie 1907
London, August 27, 1907
Large 8vo. 2pp. on double leaf. With original envelope which is initialed by Churchill in the bottom left-hand corner.
A letter to A.W. MacKenzie, acknowledging a letter which evidently faulted him for neglecting the private side of Lord Randolph Churchill in the masterful political biography he had published the previous year.
Churchill accepts that the work was “somewhat too severely circumscribed in its social and private side for the fact that it was written by a son”, citing a natural hesitancy in treating private matters which are of considerable interest to the family but which “may appear trivial to the general public”.
Marked by Churchill as “Private”, on stationary with embossed letterhead “Colonial Office, Downing Street, S.W.”. The back of the envelope states the sender’s address: Colonial Office, Downing Street, S. W.
Horizontal fold from when it was mailed.
Excellent condition.
