CHURCHILL, Winston S. Group of 5 typed letters signed (“Winston S. Churchill” or “W.”), two as Prime Minister, to Ava Anderson, Viscountess Waverly (1896-1974), 1942-1962. Together 5 pages, 8vos and 4tos, on 10 Downing St., Chartwell or Hyde Park Gate stationery, with 4 of the original envelopes. FIVE GRACIOUS LETTERS TO THE WIDOW OF A VALUED COLLEAGUE FROM THE “WILDERNESS YEARS” and now the wife of a Cabinet member. Lady Anderson was a trusted and discreet society hostess, and an indispensable friend to several Prime Ministers. Here Churchill thanks her (2 May 1942) for passing along “a most interesting” letter she received from French Ambassadore Charles Corbin. On a lighter note, he thanks her on 11 Feb. 1947 for photographs of the Churchill statue in Moose Jaw, Canada. “I had previously heard about this statue but you are the first person I know who has seen it.” Ava Anderson was the widow of Ralph Wigram, the government official who supplied Churchill covertly with crucial air ministry reports during the late 1930s. Five years after Wigram’s death in 1936, she married Sir John Anderson who was Lord President of the Council and then Chancellor of the Exchequer in Churchill’s war cabinet.
