TitleCorrespondence with Captain P. J. Faulkner
Extent3 items
Date1933
DescriptionLetter from Captain P. J. Faulkner, 45 Wiltshire Road, Brixton, London to Neville Chamberlain; with copy of article about Mrs Baldwin; and notes about Anne Chamberlain by Neville Chamberlain. 22 December.

The letter relates to an article which Faulkner planned to write for the 'Daily Mail' about Anne Chamberlain as part of a series of articles on 'Famous Wives'.

Some notes by Neville Chamberlain about Anne Chamberlain are included, of a comical nature describing her, for example, as a famous Rugby football player in a team which kicked the shins of its opponents till they gave in, presumably in response to the article referring to Mrs Baldwin being a cricketer. According to Stephen Lloyd (in a letter dated 25 January 1971, in the deposit correspondence) these notes were composed for Anne Chamberlain's amusement and were not sent.
