CHURCHILL, Winston S. Letter signed to A.W. MacKenzie, Colonial Office, 27 August 1907, marked 'Private', acknowledging a letter which evidently faulted him for neglecting the private side of Lord Randolph Churchill in the masterful political biography he had published the previous year; Churchill accepts that the work was 'somewhat too severely circumscribed in its social and private side from the fact that it was written by a son', citing a natural hesitancy in treating private matters which are of course of considerable interest to the family but which 'may appear trivial to the general public', 3 pages, 8vo; envelope.
