Signed, Handwritten Letter from Winston Churchill dated 1950 with Envelope.

About the Item

A rare letter signed by Winston Churchill dated March 1950. The letter reads: “Thank you so much for your message of goodwill at this anxious time for our country.” This letter is no doubt in response to correspondence referring to the general election of 1950. In February 1950 the Conservative Party, led by Winston Churchill, lost the general election to Labour, the first election to be held after a full term of Labour government. Labour called another general election in 1951 which the Conservatives won, reinstating Churchill as Prime Minister. The seat he famously held during the war years of 1940-1945. The letter is in very good condition with a single fold to the middle with the House of Commons blind stamp to the top left. Unlike a lot of Churchill letters which are often typed (most likely by a secretary or similar) and signed, this letter is entirely hand written. The letter comes with its original envelope, also with the House of Commons blind stamp to the rear.
