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.
