Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1937 to 1940. TLS, one page, 7.5 x 10, personal letterhead, November 18, 1924. Letter to Captain William Brass about a possible upcoming appointment. In part: “I am really writing to ask you about my P.P.S. I shall have to appoint somebody very soon, and I need hardly say that I would rather have you than anyone. At the same time I can quite understand that you may wish not to take up a rather more independent position; and, if so, please don’t hesitate to tell me. I want you to consider your own career first in this matter.” Chamberlain also writes a brief postscript: “Please be quite candid in lettering me your inclination.” Bisecting mailing folds, one through a single letter of signature, pencil notations to top, rough and lightly trimmed left edge, and a light overall shade of toning, otherwise fine condition.
