CHURCHILL, Winston S. Autograph letter signed ('W.') to Pamela [Countess of Lytton], 12 Bolton Street, 12 August 1908, marked 'Secret till Sat[urda]y', one page, 8vo. Provenance: by descent from Pamela, Countess of Lytton; Christie's, 2 December 2003, lot 64.

ANNOUNCING HIS ENGAGEMENT TO CLEMENTINE: 'I am going to marry Clementine & I say to you as you said to me when you married Victor -- you must always be our best friend'.

Churchill had proposed to Clementine the previous day in the Temple of Diana at Blenheim as they sheltered from the rain; the engagement was announced on the 15th. It is striking that among the first people he informed was Pamela, to whom he had proposed with much lesser effect 8 years earlier.
