EDEN ANTHONY: (1897-1977) British Prime Minister 1955-57. T.L.S., Avon, with holograph salutation and subscription, one page, 4to, Alvediston, Salisbury, 23rd October 1975, to Michael Henderson. Eden thanks his correspondent for their letter and a photograph, although remarking 'I have to admit, however, that I do not appear in it and my wife, who is a better judge of these things than I am, has checked carefully and agrees with this conclusion', further sending a signed photograph (no longer present) and declaring 'though in doing so I am breaking a long-established rule!'. Eden concludes his letter stating 'Thank you for what you wrote about Suez. I can assure you that judgements such as yours from someone who has closely followed these events means much to me'. EX The Suez Crisis (or the Second Arab-Israeli war) of 1956 largely overshadowed Eden's term as Prime Minister and two months after ordering an end to the Suez operation he resigned as Prime Minister on grounds of ill health and because he was widely suspected of having misled the House of Commons over the degree of collusion with France and Israel.
