CHURCHILL, Winston S. (1874-1965). Two typed letters signed ('Winston S. Churchill', 'W.S. Churchill') to Dr James Senn, 28 Hyde Park Gate, 1 September and 21 October 1946, thanking him for a gift of some butter, noting that he himself keeps Jersey cows and is 'much interested in the manufacture of butter', and asking to to hear more about Senn's 'Co2 machine'; in the second letter, having seen further details of the machine, he notes that 'At present in England no-one is allowed to make butter for sale, but only for personal use'; he believes however that Senn's machine could 'play a growing part in agricultural economy' as normal conditions are restored, together two pages, 4to, framed and glazed. | Christie's
