SPENCER-CHURCHILL , Baroness (Clementine) (1885-1977) One autograph and six typed letters, six to Paul Maze and one to W. Averell Harriman, five signed ( Clementine S. Churchill ) and one signed ( Clementine S. C ), 24 July 1942, 19 March 1943, 15 February 1944, 13 June 1944, 20 June 1944, 24 June 1958 and 23 December 1958. Seven pages, 24 x 19 cm (9½ x 7½ in.), and smaller, four on 10 Downing Street embossed headed paper, one on Chartwell headed paper, one on 28 Hyde Park Gate headed paper and one on copy paper. One letter thanks Paul Maze for the lovely water colour of the proud American flag. I have hung it in his bedroom where he can see it when he looks up when he is working in bed . Another thanks Paul Maze for a small Napoleonic scene which he fitted into one of Winston's cigar boxes and which Baroness Spencer-Churchill had lit with a little electric bulb and it looks quite fascinating - specially if the other lights in the room are put out . She is asking for further details of the subject, as she might auction it for her Aid to Russia fund. One is a copy of a letter to Averell Harriman, then US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, asking the recipient to ask Stalin for a drawing of Winston Churchill back. She wrote Because it makes him look undignified and ridiculous I have never liked a clever pencil sketch of Winston playing cards . She continues When we were staying at Hyde Park with the President last August, I was startled and vexed to see a copy of it had been sent to him, and that it was on public view in the President's museum in the grounds of his house...If is, of course, fun to see "the Great" in their unguarded and dishevelled moments! But I feel this is a sketch which any enemy would like to see scattered broadcast, and any friend would prefer to laugh at privately . A fourth letter discusses not publishing a photograph of Hitler, as it shows Hitler in a much more favourable light than he is usually depicted here. He certainly seems tense and even fanatical, but not at all abnormal. Or even very unpleasant . Two others are thankyou letters variously for strawberries and for a painting to the Golden Book of Roses, compiled for their Golden Wedding. The handwritten letter to Paul Maze discusses the artist's recent exhibition which the Churchills enjoyed seeing. She goes on to discuss Winston's health, his strength is sadly diminished and he grows weaker, week by week - the strain of the war years is showing now . She says that they are going on Friday to Blenheim till Monday (Private he now has 2 male Nurses) . William Averell Harriman (1891-1986) was an American businessman and politician, who served as US Ambassador to the Soviet Union (1943-6) and the United Kingdom (1946-7), as well as 48th Governor of New York (1955-9).
