Four items: one DS signed “Granville,” 11 x 15, December 9, 1880, passport for Giulietta Carolina de Steding; one TLS signed “Duff Cooper,” 7.5 x 9.5, Admiralty Whitehall letterhead, June 30, 1938, regarding bombing of British ships during the Spanish Civil War, in part, “There is a civil war going on in Spain and anybody who goes into Spain does so at their own risk as it is impossible for His Majesty’s Government to protect British subjects who willingly enter a war zone…the ships that have suffered have gone to Spain in order to assist one side by taking them supplies and are making very large profits by doing so. The only way in which they can be protected would be for Great Britain to take part by force in the Spanish war and this might very easily start a European war;” and two TLSs from Earl Attlee signed “Attlee,” 8 x 5, personal letterhead, one undated, one April 1, 1959. In one letter he declares that he is not qualified to speak on: "the application of Christianity to social political and economic subjects," and the other letter reads, in part, “I have every hope of a great Labour victory but of course one cannot tell. It should be all right. Wilson is a first class leader.” Passport is in very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered creases, soiling, and irregular toning; letters with expected folds and light toning, otherwise fine conditon.
