British politician (1883–1967) who served as prime minister from 1945 to 1951. TLS signed “Attlee,” one page, 8 x 5, personal letterhead, February 21, 1957. Letter to an autograph collector. In part: “I could not approach Sir Winston on your behalf. It is obvious that he is overwhelmed with requests of this sort and it would not be fair for me to approach him. You see if all his friends did this, he would be as much bothered as ever. However I will look through my papers when I have time and see if I can find a signature to an unimportant letter to send you. Do you want previous Prime Ministers? I dare say I could find you a Neville Chamberlain and a Ramsay MacDonald?” In very good condition, with three vertical folds, one passing through a single letter of the signature, creasing to the right border, and some show-through from a cardstock backing affixed to the left half of the reverse.
