An opponent of appeasement and Winston Churchill's closest female friend. See her entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, folded twice for postage. Addressed to 'Mr. Seyers' and signed 'Violet Bonham Carter'. She regrets that she is unable to accept his invitation to 'come to Monmouth in November - as my plans are very uncertain - it is just possible I might be abroad then. / It is so good of the Monmouth Town [bench?] to invite me'. She ends by asking him to thank them for 'their kind offers of hospitality'.
