CHURCHILL, Winston (1874–1965). Autograph letter signed “Winston S Churchill,” June 26, 1912, to his cousin Lord Ivor GUEST, Viscount WIMBORNE; 2 pages, in-8 format, on Admiralty Whitehall letterhead with vignette; in English. Confidential letter (“Confidential”) to his dear Ivor. Note: He advises Ivor against accepting a position in Australia or New Zealand, which would not suit him: “You are not suited for it and could not enjoy it.” He would do better to accept “with alacrity” the invitation from the *Naturalist* [an Irish newspaper] to go to Dublin, which seems to him a good idea: “which appears to me from any point of view a most useful and valuable idea.” Let him give them a fine speech and show himself to be their friend: “Make the best speech you can and make them feel you are their friend.”
