CHURCHILL, Winston S. Autograph letter signed to Charles Hughes, n.p., 28 November 1906, 3 pages, 8vo , bifolium; envelope. Provenance : Sotheby's, 24 July 1987, lot 305 (part).
CHURCHILL, Winston S. Autograph letter signed to Charles Hughes, n.p., 28 November 1906, 3 pages, 8vo , bifolium; envelope. Provenance : Sotheby's, 24 July 1987, lot 305 (part). SELF RULE FOR IRELAND. Churchill thanks the recipient for a book, and hopes to count on his support in relation the Irish question (which fell under Churchill at the Colonial Office): 'The politics of the past do not reproduce themselves; & there are good hopes of progress & peace in Ireland within the limits of the legislative Union. But I am confident that the time is approaching ... when a further step may be made in pursuance of the policy of local self government ... I am certainly not prepared to refuse to consider sober or moderate plans, because bitter extremists choose to call them by violent names. But I regard the effective integrity of the United Kingdom as the indispensable foundation upon wh any further advance must be based, & by wh it must be confined'. Ironically it was to be Churchill, on his return to the Colonial Office, who oversaw the negotiations for the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921, which established the Irish Free State.
