CHURCHILL, Winston S. Group of 5 letters and memoranda signed or initialed (“Winston S. Churchill,” “WSC”), to H. J. Creedy, Desmond Leslie, and John Sundell, 1920-1955. Together 8 pages, 4to and 8vo, on Secretary of War, Chartwell, Hyde Park Gate stationery.
STROKING THE PRESS AND CRACKING THE WHIP ON HIS SUBORDInates
In the 13 April 1950 letter to Leslie, Churchill denies a press request for permission (presumably on a matter of republication of one of his essays) “Allowing such a proceeding in one case and not in others might cause much offense. As I am sure you realize, it is most important that I should preserve strict impartiality where the Press is concerned…” In the memoranda he exchanges with his secretary, H.J. Creedy, we see a testy Churchill. On 9 December 1920 he writes in response to a brief he received concerning a pay dispute: “Secretary: This is a very lengthy screed and I should have thought you could have reduced it to shorter dimensions. Is the point on which you require my decision whether a suspected civilian excluded from a military factory during a period of industrial commotion should receive pay or not? If so, my answer is yes…” On 24 March 1920 he looks for the culprit in delaying an important communication to him: “Let me have a report showing the movements of this dispatch from the time it left Berlin…It is really no use sending me information a month after it has been completed.” Together 5 items.
