Churchill (Winston S.)

Typed Letter signed, to one of his nurses.

Description: on paper headed to 28 Hyde Park Gate, Knightsbridge, signed at foot in a shaky hand, p. [1], foolscap 8vo, original fold for sending, a touch of creasing, very good

Publication Details: December 1959

Notes: Churchill writes: 'Dear Mrs. Sheppard, Thank you so much for sending me the beautiful roses on my Birthday. It was very kind of you. I hope that all will continue to go so well with you and your little daughter'. The recipient was Joanna Sheppard, who, with her husband Ivan, both of them nurses, was amongst Churchill's personal medical team - living with him at Chartwell. The signature betrays the failing health of the Prime Minister's later years. [With:] A later typed note on the same tack to Mr and Mrs Sheppard, on the occasion of his 90th birthday in 1964, this with printed signature....moreChurchill writes: 'Dear Mrs. Sheppard, Thank you so much for sending me the beautiful roses on my Birthday.
