CHURCHILL, Winston S. Autograph letter signed ("Winston S. Churchill") to Margot Asquith (1864-1945), London, 18 October [no year]. 1 page, 8vo, Colonial Office stationery . A FINE CHURCHILL LETTER TO THE COLORFUL MARGOT ASQUITH. "Thank you for telling me of the article in Pearson's, wh I am ordering & shall read with great interest." The second wife of Liberal party leader Herbert H. Asquith, Margot was a cultural figure in her own right. Her bold and outspoken manner defied the gender conventions of the day and her weekend home in Oxfordshire became a literary and political salon for Churchill and other leading lights. Her outspokenness during the war was increasingly a problem for her husband, now the Prime Minister. Her political judgments were far from perfect. In 1915, after the Dardanelles fiasco, she concluded in her diary that Churchill had "no political future."
