TLS, one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, August 1, 1929. Churchill writes H. Reginald Beck, adding the greeting “Dear Mr. Beck.” In full: “I take this opportunity of thanking you for the excellent work which you did in the Election when as my Election Agent you kept the whole of the accounts, and conducted the financial arrangements in the most economical, efficient and businesslike manner.” In very good condition, with central horizontal and vertical folds (small old tape repair on reverse), creasing, scattered soiling and foxing, and light uniform toning. With the defeat of the Conservative Party in 1929, Churchill’s tenure as chancellor of exchequer was over. The culmination of his term had been unsuccessful as a result of his outspoken speeches on the impending threat of socialism and communism, earning him the reputation of a warmonger. This letter closes the door to his position as exchequer, opening a window of opportunity for greatness and supreme victory.
