TLS as prime minister, signed “Yours sincerely, Neville Chamberlain,” one page, 7.5 x 9.5, 10 Downing Street, Whitehall letterhead, August 22, 1939. Written days before the official start of World War II, a letter to W. G. Howard Gritten, in full: "This is just a line to say that I received your letter of the 19th instant, but that I am giving no consideration to the matter you speak of as there are other considerations which no doubt you have in mind to be thought of." Chamberlain adds the salutation in his own hand. In fine condition, with a paperclip impression to the top edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, which bears a handwritten note from Chamberlain, who signs with his title, "The Prime Minister, Re my suggestion of postponing an election during a period of such anxiety & tension."
