Can you come over between six and seven tonight? I shall be out tomorrow evening and Saturday- Sincerely Yours Winston Churchill January 10, 1901</B></I>" Churchill had just arrived back from the United States on a prolonged speaking engagement, One month later, in February, Churchill entered Parliament and became associated with a group of Tory dissidents led by Lord Hugh Cecil and referred to as the Hughligans, a play on "Hooligans". During his first parliamentary session, Churchill provoked controversy by opposing the government's army estimates, arguing against extravagant military expenditure. A very nice early Churchill item. Very fine.1 <BR><BR><B>Condition Report:</B>
