(Untitled), 17 Feb 1945
Scope and Contents
Letter from Maharaja Sir Joodha Shumshere Jung Bahadur Rana [Prime Minister of Nepal] to WSC expressing his unease at the possible effect of WSC's "diverse activities" and travelling on his health, especially in the light of the "mishap" which befell the plane carrying some British officials to the meeting with President Roosevelt and Marshal Stalin. States that WSC is the "very heart and soul of Britain", "the very essence of British war efforts" and that "we cannot afford to lose you at such a time". Comments that "advanced in age as you are it is advisable that every precaution should be taken for the preservation of your health." [Signed typescript] With typescript postscript written upon hearing that WSC was once again in Athens [Greece] and expressing concern as "that was the place where three attempts had been made on Your Excellency's life". A couple of annotations have been made in pencil in unknown hand highlighting phrases where the language used appears humorous.
