TLS signed “Winston S. Churchill,” one page, 7.5 x 9.5, personal letterhead, September 11, 1962. Churchill declines an invitation. In full: “My wife and I are most interested to hear of the improvements you are carrying out at the West Essex Conservative Club. Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately, owing to my accident, neither of us is accepting invitations for the autumn, but if you would later on let us know the date of the ceremony you contemplate, I would arrange for a member of my family to attend if you would like this. We hope that the alterations to the Club will give pleasure to all who use it.” In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold and a couple staple holes to top edge. The injuries sustained after falling out of bed while in Monte Carlo began a slow but steady decline in Churchill’s health, leading to his gradual withdrawal from public life until his death on January 24, 1965.
