"Dear Lady [Flower?], I am very sorry to say that I am unable to accept your kind invitation for Friday 10th as I have unfortunately promised to attend a meeting that evening. If I can get away from the House; so that if business does not require my presence here I shall be in B'ham. Yrs. very truly Austen Chamberlain." On mourning stationery with the House of Commons blind stamp. Chamberlain was a British statesman, son of Joseph Chamberlain and older half-brother of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. He served as Chancellor of the Exchequer (twice) and was briefly Conservative Party leader before serving as Foreign Secretary. He served an important term as Foreign Secretary in Stanley Baldwin's Second Government (1924 9), during which he negotiated the Locarno Pact (1925), aimed at preventing war between France and Germany, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The letter is written using two sheets of stationery, one holograph page each.
