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 intersecting 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 as unsuccessful as a result of his outspoken speeches on the impending threat of socialism and communism, earning him the reputation of a warmonger. In the years following his departure from office and into ‘the wilderness,’ Churchill continued his fervent warnings against Hitler, a stance that would serve the British populace well during his time as Prime Minister, when he delivered inspiration and motivation to stand strong against the Nazi threat when the country faced the opposition alone. This letter closes the door to his position as exchequer, opening a window of opportunity for greatness and supreme victory.
