CHURCHILL WRITING TO A BREEDER OF ARAB HORSES
CHURCHILL
(Sir Winston Spencer, 1874-1965, Prime Minister)
Fine Typed Letter Signed in full with autograph salutation and subscription, to “My dear Judith”
telling her that “Mr Godfrey’s request to come to see your Stud was at very short notice last week, and I quite understood when you said that it was an inconvenient day. I hope you did not mind my asking on his behalf, but as he is close to President Truman and other American friends of mine, I felt I would like to show him a gesture of friendship and courtesy. Thank you so much for sending me you latest pamphlet about your Arab Stud. I do not myself breed Arab horses, but Mr Godfrey does and he tells me he has one of your stallions. I am therefore sending your booklet on to him as I think it will interest him...”, 1 side 4to., 28 Hyde Park Gate, London headed paper, 19th July
