Dear Dave, Thank You.
The last book I finished was "In Command of History". Dr. Mathers suggested I pick it up. I was after financial information and Reynold's book assisted me greatly with that aim. The character reference you made was what I was after. I knew Clementine didn't like the house for the cost it bear on their finances. I knew Churchill liked the house much much more. Your thought is Churchill was comfortable with this arrangement ? I may look at Reynold's book again Maybe if I had more information about how the purchase came along this would assuage my curiousity.(Timeline) Winston gave his son a large financial gift. I wonder if anyone knew the amount? Randolph called it "a Princely Sum."..
