Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

various sizes and formats some rusting to staples where present, good condition overall. The two menus that are the earliest pieces in this group, date from the Imperial Economic Conference in Ottawa in the summer of 1932, where Douglas Hogg, Viscount Hailsham, was among the delegates during his time as Secretary of State for War in the National Government; both are signed by him and his wife Mildred, along with other attendees, including Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain – the subsequent Prime Ministers during whose terms Hailsham returned to the office of Lord Chancellor (the present PM's signature, Ramsay MacDonald is present in the archive in the form of a later TLs). During his second term as Lord Chancellor, Hailsham's health faltered, and the letters here present to his wife Mildred – wishing her husband a speedy recovery – are from Samuel Hoare (First Lord of the Admiralty), John Simon (Home Secretary), Ramsay MacDonald, and the King's Private Secretary, A.H.L. Hardinge. These last are notable for being during the latter months of the short reign of Edward VIII; also present is a certificate with the cypher of his successor at the head,sending Hailsham a medal (not present) to be worn at George VI's Coronation. Samuel Hoare's letter is the lengthiest of this group of letters, and has the distinction of going beyond an expression of sympathy to 'send you a little gossip' over its four pages – primarily with regard to one of Edward VII's parties ('a grim afternoon [.] Quantities of self-conscious people, most of them in very ugly dresses [.] and looking more bored than words can say', but also with reference to how difficult it is to trust Germany's intentions at the present time. Overall, the archive offers a few different perspectives on Hailsham's presence and role during a difficult period in domestic and international affairs.
