MACMILLAN
(Harold, 1894-1986, Prime Minister, from 1984 1st Earl of Stockton)
Fine Long Typed Letter Signed with autograph salutation and subscription to "My dear Ambassador", Sir Michael STEWART
(1911-1994, Ambassador to Greece, 1967-71) telling him that he is "going on a Swan Hellenic Cruise in the course of which journey we expect to reach Athens on the ss 'Ankara' on May the 8th. We have, alas, only one day there and since I am bringing with me my daughter, Mrs Julian Faber who has never been to Greece, I have no doubt we shall go through all the regular sight seeing trips with our fellow pilgrims. I was, however, wondering whether at some time during the day I might come to the Embassy with her. I should like myself to re-visit once more the scene of that strange episode in the Winter of 1944 and let my daughter see where the events took place which I have described in my second volume of memoirs. I remember so well the meeting when I think you were a Counsellor to Jim Bowker. That, too, was part of a rather curious odyssey ... I expect you suffer terribly from these cruises and it was for this reason that I hesitated to bother you. But apart from everything else I would very much value the chance fo a talk with you about affairs in Greece to-day. They certainly keep to the Aristotlian round and experience with every known form of Government ...", 2 sides 8vo., Birch Grove House, Haywards Heath, Sussex, 2nd March

Autograph Letter Signed to fellow novelist Aubrey Hodes

Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Jeune
saying how glad he is that she “can come to lunch on Wednesday... I am here till Tuesday. I shall probably come to London on Tuesday night. I have sent cards today to the Ramsdens... Higgins... & Lady Marian Alford... I sent cards to these myself, because I wanted in each case to add a line or two, but I have not sent cards to Freda... & Lyttons... because I thought that if there were no reason to the contrary, it would be better that the cards should come from you, than that they should be sent with my compliments. If I think of any more people to ask I will let you know tomorrow...”, 2 sides 8vo., Fetteresso, Torquay, 28th February
