Winston Churchill typed letter signed as Prime Minister, regarding publication of his highly acclaimed memoir, ''The Second World War''. Churchill writes on his Prime Minister letterhead, embossed with ''10, Downing Street'', on 25 October 1952 to Commodore Gordon Allen, part of his ''Syndicate'' who helped him write the book series. Letter reads in part, ''As I told you some months ago, there will be no more group work on the book after this month, as I shall not be able to do anything more on it until just before it is published. I cannot at this stage say when that is likely to be, or whether indeed it will be published while I am in office. If anything should crop up between now and then however, I hope you will not mind if I write to you. / I am much indebted to you for your assistance in this work. It has been a great pleasure to me to have your loyal cooperation and collaboration with my thoughts and ideas on these subjects. Thank you very much for our long and agreeable association. / I look forward to seeing you on Monday. [signed] Yours sincerely, Winston S. Churchill''. Letter measures 7.5'' x 9.5''. Folds, and hole puncture at top left, otherwise near fine condition.
