According to her entry in the Oxford DNB: ' Also in 1941 she embarked upon what became the most substantial public work she ever undertook when she became chairman of the Red Cross Aid to Russia Fund. Of the £9,000,000 collected in Britain to help the USSR, 'Mrs Churchill's Fund', as it was popularly known, raised £6,700,000. In MarchMay 1945, at the invitation of the Russian Red Cross, she visited Russia to inspect many of the institutions equipped or otherwise helped by her fund. She travelled widely in the Soviet Union, was received by Stalin, and was awarded the order of the Red Banner of Labour. As Winston told her in a telegram on 2 April, 'at the moment you are the one bright spot in Anglo-Russian relations' (Speaking for Themselves, 521). At home, in recognition of her work for the Russian Fund and her other services, she was appointed GBE in the victory honours list.' 2pp, 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged, with light staining to one corner. A good facsimile of a twenty-three line autograph letter. Reads: 'Dear Sir, / I send you my warmest thanks for your generous contribution to my "Aid to Russia" Fund. / I have been deeply touched by the splendid response to my broadcast appeal. Cheques & postal orders & Treasury notes are reaching me in sackfuls, & I only regret that it is impossible for me to reply adequately to every kind letter that accompanies them. / But believe me, I am deeply appreciative of the gifts & letters that have reached me from you and thousands like you. Your contributions will enable the Red Cross to send off substantial supplies of the drugs & surgical equipment of which our Russian Allies are urgently in need. / Yours sincerely / Clementine S. Churchill'.

'I see a good one arrives at 2-47!' TWO: 5 January 1935. She apologises for the delay in replying: 'I have had so many to write, and I want to answer them all myself, though have to type owing to cramp'. She asks her to 'convey to your Kettering Branch' her 'thanks for, and appreciation of their kind congratulations on the honour His Majesty The King has conferred on me, and say what pleasure it gives me to hear of their interest and be in touch with the Branches, I think they all know how much I love my Legion work.'.
