Rare typed letter signed by Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill to a Lady Aberconway, likely Christobel Aberconway. Octavo, one page on Western letterhead, the letter reads in full, '28, Hyde Park Gate, London, S. W. 7. "3" March, 1949. "Madam Lady Aberconway," Thank you for your letter of February 28. Alas I have never made a painting or drawing of a cat, although I am very fond of them. So sorry I cannot help you as you suggest. I am much interested to read about your forthcoming 'Dictionary of Cat Lovers'. I am sure it will be a success.' Boldly signed by him, "Yours sincerely, Winston S. Churchill." In very good condition with mail folds, a filing hole to the top left, a small closed tear to the left edge, and light spots of toning and creasing. Double matted and framed with a photograph of Churchill. The entire piece measures 21.6 inches by 13 inches.
Following the resignation of Neville Chamberlain on May 10th 1940, Winston S. Churchill became Prime Minister of England and took the lead in warning about Nazi Germany and in campaigning for rearmament. His speeches and radio broadcasts helped inspire British resistance, especially during the difficult days of 1940–41 when the British Commonwealth and Empire stood almost alone in its active opposition to Adolf Hitler. A non-academic historian, artist, and prolific writer, Churchill won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953 for his overall, lifetime body of work.
