| Description | Letter from E. [Wood, Edward Frederick Lindley (1881-1959) 1st Earl of Halifax, statesman], Foreign Office to Neville Chamberlain; and copy of reply from A. N. R. [Rucker] to W. I. Mallet (Foreign Office). 15 and 16 January.
A letter forwarding a letter from Winston Churchill to Halifax dated 15 January 1940 (Churchill's letter is not included - Halifax asked for it to be returned) and suggesting that the letter is 'one more for the book!' [Chamberlain had thought (as shown in NC18/1/1121) that some of Winston Churchill's letters were written for the purpose of quotation in a book that he would write after the war]. |
