CHURCHILL, Winston S. (1874-1965). Autograph letter signed to 'Miss Philips', 50 Grosvenor Square, 4 October [1895], thanking her for taking care of his former nanny, Mrs Everest, who he is glad to hear is 'not seriously hurt'; he will visit if time allows, though this will be difficult 'as the distance is very great and my leaves are very small', 3 pages, 8vo, bifolium. Provenance: Sotheby's, 5 December 1975, lot 429.
Churchill was famously devoted to his nanny, who in the absence of a close relationship with his parents was the chief confidante of his childhood.
