30 Quality Magazine November 2019 Churchill is ranked consistently as the greatest wartime leader of the 20th Century after his inspirational oratory powers combined with his refusal to surrender to Nazi Germany helped inspire the British populace through the bleak early days of the war. His second term as Prime Minister from 1951 to 1955 presided over a massive expansion of housing to help deal with the post-war shortage, but it was foreign affairs that still dominated Churchill's tenure as he refused to accept dwindling British power. Winston Churchill signed typed letter written from La Pausa, France dated 13th February 1957 to Sir Douglas Savory thanking him for his letter and for an article he had recently written, includes original envelope. Small tear to centre top page but not affecting signature. La Pausa is a large detached villa designed by Coco Chanel; Churchill spent a third of each year there between 1956 and 1958 and wrote part of his History of the English Speaking Peoples at the villa.

Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey The government led by Prime Minister George Canning had authorised the bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807 and the confiscation of the Danish fleet due to fears that Denmark’s neutrality was in danger with the prospect of a French invasion. However, the attack caused much controversy in parliament with accusations that the government greatly exaggerated Denmark’s ability and readiness to threaten British interests and that it had transformed Denmark into a hostile enemy.

This is a superb letter written by future Prime Minister Earl Grey and provides a fascinating insight into the furore which the attack caused, as well as providing an example of the conflicting views of British policy during the Napoleonic Wars. This is by far the most interesting and significantly historical letter we have been able to offer for years, a stunning political document.
