Churchill (Right Hon. Winston Spencer, 1874-1965). The World Crisis, 6 vols., 1st eds., 1923-31, b & w plts. and maps including some folding, scattered pencil annotations and marginalia to vol. 1 by Sir Frederick Whyte, a few notes shaved, author`s signed presentation inscription to front flyleaf of vol. 1, `Inscribed for Frederick Whyte by Winston S. Churchill 1948` with related note by the recipient in pen and pencil beneath, a further ink note by Whyte giving instructions to binder at end of contents to vol 1., a.e.g., modern blue crushed morocco gilt by Bayntun Riviere, 8vo, together with a typed letter initialled from Whyte to Churchill and a typed letter signed from Churchill to Whyte in reply both folded and preserved in an old envelope tipped on to front pastedown of vol 1 with Whyte`s pen and pencil notes to rear flap. Sir Alexander Frederick Whyte KCSI (1883-1970) was a British civil servant, Liberal Party politician, writer and journalist. While MP for Perth, Whyte served as parliamentary private secretary (1910-15) to Winston Churchill, who was Home Secretary (1910-11) and then First Lord of the Admiralty (1911-15). Whyte`s letter is dated 24th September 1948 and refers to some notes he was belatedly sending him regarding the events of 29 July to 4 August 1914. Evidently, Whyte has used these notes and memories to annotate the relevant pages of volume 1 where he was personally involved and sent the notes on to Churchill. Whyte`s letter states that these notes `might be material for an authentic footnote throwing some light on the awkward predicament of Asquith`s cabinet in the last days of peace in 1914`. Whyte also adds a request that if he were to send the first volume of Churchill`s `World Crisis` to him would he `write on the fly-leaf a word or two about those days in which I was Òpars minimaÓ to your ÒmaximaÓ?`. Churchill`s reply, Chartwell, 8 October 1948, thanks Whyte for his note and for sending him copies of the records of `our conversations and of events just before the outbreak of the 1914-18 war. It seems to strike some notes in my memory`, and agreeing to inscribe the book for him. (8)
