Price Mistake? Autograph Letter Signed ('winston S. Churchill') To 'my Dear Mallet' (charles Mallet), Accessory [Vz8Yxu1O]

Letter written while Churchill was Home Secretary thanking Mallet for his letter and for his support: “I am so glad you will help me with the bill.”

Churchill was appointed Home Secretary by Asquith after the 1910 general election, which the Liberals won but were reduced to a minority government. It was a busy year for Churchill: “After the general election of January 1910 Asquith promoted Churchill … his many responsibilities ranged from the supervision of the Metropolitan Police to the regulation of prisons, borstals, factories, coalmines, and shops. Churchill was eager to pursue an agenda of social reform.” (ODNB).

Charles Mallet (1862-1947) was a Liberal politician.

With ink transference from another (typed) letter, not affecting legibility. Otherwise in very good condition.

Provenance: the Mallet family, by descent.
