CHURCHILL, Winston S. Typed letter signed ("Winston S. Churchill") to Sir Tresham Lever, Chartwell, Kent, 30 June 1932. 1 page, 4to, Chartwell stationery, punch holes at left edge, receipt stamp on recto.
CHURCHILL ACCEPTS THE HONOR BUT NOT THE CHORE associated with having his World Crisis adapted as a Sandhurst textbook. "I take it as a great honour," Churchill writes, "that my book 'The World Crisis' should be adopted as a text-book at Sandhurst where I was a cadet, and I will certainly agree to the scheme you put before me." He is not, however, inclined to accept Tresham Lever's suggestion to proofread the selected portions of the work chosen by the Sandhurst men and he assures them of his confidence in their selection and his belief that "the extracts will have been made to give a fair representation of the story." Thornton Butterworth issued a limited edition of 1,354 copies (known in the book trade as the "Sandhurst edition") in 1933.
