Lot 534
Montgomery of Alamein, Bernard L., Viscount. Autograph Letter Signed ("Montgomery of Alamein"). Two pages, octavo, London, December 14, 1946. On personalized stationery. To Mr. Salisbury. One horizontal mailing fold and one small ink stain at the right edge. Otherwise, in fine to very fine condition.
Montgomery, then serving as Chief of the Imperial General Staff, writes to Mr. Salisbury of trips to the Middle East and Mediterranean (given the volatile situation in those regions following the War, it seems unlikely these were pleasure trips) and tenders his regrets: "Just at present I am very fully occupied; but later on I will try to come and see you." Montgomery was Chief of Staff until 1948 and then served as NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander from 1951-1958.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
