CHURCHILL, Winston S. Autograph letter signed to 'Dear Sandys', 35a Great Cumberland Place, 10 October 1899, apologising for missing him, 'I sail on the 14th for the Cape, but the actual fighting will begin before the week is out and may be over before the main army arrives. I shall hope to meet you again somewhere', one page, 8vo, bifolium. Provenance: Christie's South Kensington, 5 May 1995, lot 45.
