Dear Mr Smith,

Many thanks for the link to this very informative review.

I was intrigued by a passage :

' As a cousin of Winston observed at the time: “Few fathers have done less
for their sons. Few sons have done more for their fathers.” '

I googled the quote, but only got the Wall Street Journal reference.

Who is that cousin (Clare Sheridan ?) Where is the source of the quote, I
wonder ?

With all best wishes,

Dear All,

Following the highly publicised recent sale of Churchill’s wartime picture
of Marrakech offered to President Roosevelt, I wonder if anyone knows what
has become of another gift to the President as reported in Pawle’s _The War
and Colonel Warden_ (p. 174) : ‘a complete set of his own books, which he
had had magnificently bound in red leather by the London firm of Sangorski
and Sutcliffe’.

With all best wishes,

Dear All,

I am continuing with my English version of my Dictionnaire Churchill.

I am now tackling "Churchill and 'Europe' ", and I stumble upon a difficulty
which I had not spotted when preparing the French edition :

Did his speech in Metz take place on 14 or 15 July 1946 ?

His collection of speeches for 1946, _The Sinews of War_ says 14 (p.171) -
so does RR James in his Complete Speeches (p. 7357), probably culled from
_The Sinews of War_, however.

But the OB reads : "Churchill spoke, first in Luxembourg on July 14, and on
the following day in Metz".

Gilbert, Martin. Winston S. Churchill: Never Despair, 1945–1965 (Volume
VIII, p. 246).

Is there any way to tell who is right ?

With all best wishes,

Geoffrey Best's "A Study in Greatness", paperback edition p 283, has the Metz speech on 14 July.

RE: Churchill's speech in Metz in July 1946

Dear Antoine,

The envelope containing Churchill's speech notes (attached) suggest it was 14 July.

Regards,

Allen
