Content Description
Marked "private". Churchill is honoured by Lutyens's invitation to join the Royal Academy but declines. As an amateur he would be embarrassed to find himself suddenly and unwarrantedly among the Academicians. He hopes to compete again after the war. Bracken suggests that the office of Secretary for Foreign Correspondence be offered to
Eden.
