Letter. This 16 December 1943 autograph letter signed from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's British Foreign Minister and Leader of the House of Commons, Anthony Eden, to Churchill's great friend, media mogul, and Tory politician Lord Beaverbrook, is a direct window on Churchill's dire health emergency in North Africa in late 1943, immediately following conferences with Stalin and Roosevelt. The letter, written entirely in Eden's hand on the recto of a single sheet of embossed House of Commons stationery, reads "My dear Max, Thank you so much for your letter. Attlee and I saw the two doctors who had attended Winston, after our Cabinet last night. Both were emphatic that the men out there were the best possible; no one who could be sent out from here could be better. In view of this we did not feel there was anything more to be done in that line." After his valediction, Eden signs simply "Anthony". "Attlee" is, of course, Deputy Prime Minister Clement Attlee, who would succeed Churchill as Prime Minister in July 1945.Condition and provenanceCondition of the letter is near fine. The embossed House of Commons stationery is crisp, complete, and clean apart from a faint paperclip impression and stain at the upper left corner. A single vertical crease and a single horizontal crease are presumably from original posting. Eden's writing remains clear and distinct. This letter was part of the Forbes family's incomparable Churchill collection, and thereafter part of the Churchill collection of Richard C. Marsh, from whence it came to us. The letter is protected within a clear, removable, archival sleeve housed in a rigid, crimson cloth folder."I am completely at the end of my tether."Fresh from a wartime conference with U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, "On the morning of 2 December 1943, Churchill left Teheran by air for Cairo," where he had further meetings with Roosevelt and many others. By 7 December 1943, it was clear that Churchill was contending with some illness, though meetings continued. On the night of 10 December, "Churchill left Cairo for the westward flight to Tunisia, the prelude, as he hoped, to a visit to the British troops in Italy." His plane landed at the wrong airport, where Churchill waited outside in "a very cold morning wind" before another short flight and a drive to meet with Eisenhower, to whom Churchill confided "I am completely at the end of my tether and cannot go on to the front until I have recovered some strength." Churchill had pneumonia, diagnosed via a portable X-Ray machine brought in from Tunis. Then 69 years old, Churchill had survived everything from Dervish spears to artillery shells in battle on three continents, and every manner of incident and accident, from falling out of a tree as a young man, falling out the sky in a plane as an adult, and being struck by a New York City truck driver. It was not clear that his luck would hold.For some days, Churchill's illness "continued to cause alarm" and "Churchill's heart began to show signs of strain." On 14 December, Churchill told his daughter Sarah, "If I die, don't worry the war is won." Staff began to converge on him in North Africa, as did his wife and son. On the 15th, Churchill experienced prolonged fibrillation and his doctor recognized "we were at last right up against things." Churchill had suffered a heart attack. His doctor sat by Churchill's bedside, "waiting for the Prime Minister's heart to resume its normal rhythm." It was only on 16 December, the day Eden wrote this letter to Beaverbrook, that Churchill's condition began to improve, "his pulse steadier" and lungs "clearing a little." Substantiating Eden's reassurance to Beaverbrook about Churchill's medical care, Churchill's Private Secretary John Martin wrote to his wife on 16 December: "We have quite an assembly of medical talent, and everything possible is being done for him."The long-suffering Anthony EdenIf retrospectively pressed, Eden mig.

WinstonÂChurchill at the wartime meeting of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers, signed by him and 43 other world leaders. The 1944 Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference, hosted by the British Prime Minister WinstonÂChurchill between 1 and 16 May, brought together the heads of government from all the Dominions except Ireland and Newfoundland and was the first in a series of 17 such conferences which took place between 1944 and 1969 and arguably the most significant, having been convened in order to coordinate the Allied war effort. At the 1944 Conference, the assembled leaders agreed to support the Moscow Declaration and the Commonwealth contribution to the upcoming Operation Overlord was discussed. Among the international leaders whose signatures appear here are, the British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, South African Prime Minister Jan Smuts, Lord Privy Seal Lord Beaverbrook, Indian Prime Minister Hari Singh and Deputy Prime Minister Clement Attlee.

No Binding. Condition: Good. No Jacket. On offer is a typewritten and hand signed letter marked 'personal' from Robert Anthony Eden (1897-1977) , 1st Earl of Avon and former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, to John Edwin Hunt of New Zealand. Eden writes this letter on Donhead House Shaftesbury blind embossed letterhead (Robert Anthony Eden lived at Donhead House for a year following the Suez Crisis of 1956). Dated July 31st, 1958. Marked PERSONAL. Eden writes to Hunt with appreciation for a letter Hunt had previously sent to him. Context indicates that Hunt had been complementary regarding Eden's perspective on the Suez Crisis. Eden then comments on the Suez Crisis of 1956: "I was quite sure that in time the purpose I had in mind would be understood. My only regret now is that the two years which have elapsed have made the task a very difficult one for the free world". BIO NOTES: Robert Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon was an English Conservative politician who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1955 to 1957. He was also Foreign Secretary for three periods between 1935 and 1955, including during World War II. He is best known for his outspoken opposition to appeasement in the 1930s; his diplomatic leadership in the 1940s and 1950s; and the failure of his Middle East policy in 1956 that ended his premiership. Suez in retrospect: Following the defeat of the Arab armies by Israel in the Six Day War of 1967, Eden's own reputation, not least in Israel and the United States, soared, and he was deluged with letters of the "you were right in 1956" variety. In 1986, Eden's official biographer Robert Rhodes James re-evaluated sympathetically Eden's stance over Suez and in 1990, following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, James asked: "Who can now claim that Eden was wrong?". Such arguments turn mostly on whether, as a matter of policy, the Suez operation was fundamentally flawed or whether, as such "revisionists" thought, the lack of American support conveyed the impression that the West was divided and weak. Anthony Nutting, who resigned as a Foreign Office Minister over Suez, expressed the former view in 1967, the year of the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War, when he wrote that "we had sown the wind of bitterness and we were to reap the whirlwind of revenge and rebellion". Conversely, D. R. Thorpe, another of Eden's biographers, suggests that had the Suez venture succeeded, "there would almost certainly have been no Middle East war in 1967, and probably no Yom Kippur War in 1973 also".
