THATCHER MARGARET: (1925-2013) British Prime Minister 1979-90. A fascinating correspondence collection comprising six A.Ls.S. and thirty nine T.Ls.S., most signed Margaret, with her first name only, the majority with holograph salutations and subscriptions, and many with additional holograph notes, 8vo & 4to, London, March 1976 - May 2002, all to Monty Modlyn and some to his wife Dorothy, mostly on the printed stationery of 10, Downing Street. Thatcher writes a series of appreciative letters and also refers to various political events, in part, 'It was so kind of you to give up most of your Friday to guide me around the East End It was so useful having your knowledge and, if I may say so, your good humour. It was one of the most successful short tours which I have done... In due course I must pay another visit to a different part of London... You have a marvellous way with people - and what more does one need in life!' (25th January 1978), 'As always, I thoroughly enjoyed being with you on your programme and you handled everything wonderfully. L.B.C. are very lucky to have you. I can't think of a single other person who could cope for 4 hours in the way you do.' (23rd August 1978), 'Thank you... so much for the paper weight. The inscription is particularly apt and I am thrilled with it! Truman was a pretty good President too.' (22nd October 1978), 'You have been such loyal supporters for four difficult years of Opposition… Now that we are in Government the real battle has begun. We must not let down the people like yourselves who have placed such great confidence in us… Denis and I have been living here at Downing Street for about 10 days and once we have got things properly sorted out I hope that you will both come along to see us' (14th June 1979, written shortly after Thatcher's first General Election win 4th May 1979 ), '…I feel very strongly that the first duty of any government is to explain, interpret and justify its actions to the people. I do not believe that it is sufficient to claim that the people automatically understand the full ramifications of our policies merely because they voted for us in such great numbers on 3rd May… Now you may say that inspite of the fact that the arguments are available, and indeed have been deployed, we have been failing to convince as many people as we ought about the validity of our case. In this regard you may be right, and by drawing the question to my attention so swiftly, you have underpinned my determination to succeed... I am very conscious of the need to keep in touch with the views of the people in exactly the same way as I did in Opposition' (7th November 1979, marked Private & Confidential), 'At this difficult time it has been a real source of encouragement and strength to me to receive so many messages of support from friends like yourselves. I am most interested to read of the reactions you have found as you have gone round interviewing people in the street' (26th April 1982, written during the period of the Falklands War, April 1982 - June 1982), 'It was a marvellous victory… I was glad to know that I had such staunch backing. It has helped to sustain me both in the years of Opposition and in my time at No 10.' (23rd June 1983, on the occasion of Thatcher's second term as Prime Minister, 10th June 1983), 'I was good... to hear that you are still putting across the ideas in which we both believe in your customary robust way. You can do so much that I can't. People will listen to you and think about what you say. As each week passes I become more appalled at socialist policies. I never thought I'd see the acrimonious scenes between miners and between miners and steelmen especially when no other government has given them such a good deal as this one' (7th May 1984, sometimes called 'the most bitter industrial dispute in British history', the main miners' strike started 6th March 1984), 'I think it is generally agreed that last week's Party Conference was one of the best we have had for many years and we can now look forward to the coming session of Parliament and the next eighteen months with renewed confidence.' (17th October 1986).OWING TO LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THE-SALEROOM WE ARE UNABLE TO DISPLAY THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS LOT - PLEASE CONTACT IAA Ltd DIRECTLY FOR A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION
