TitleWine Cellar book
Extent1 vol
Date1935-1944
DescriptionPre-printed volume containing entries recording stock levels of various wines in Mosley's cellar, including details about wines kept at his flat in London. Stock-taking seems to have been done at regular intervals between 1935 and 1937, but more sporadically after this date. There is a gap between May 1940 and Nov 1942 when no details were recorded, presumably due to the arrest and imprisonment of Oswald and Diana Mosley. Sporadic stock checks seem to have resumed during 1943 and 1944. Inserted in this volume is a letter addressed to Oswald Mosley at Crux Easton House from A. Eberley, 24 Lowndes Street, London, 30 Mar 1944, who seems to have been an employee. The letter encloses the wine book and a list of books, and discusses wine stocks and arrangements to send clothes belonging to Diana Mosley to [her sister] Mrs Jackson.
