Summary
Newspaper article dated in handwritten pencil at the top '27 MAY 1952' above the article; 'HISTORY OF "THE TIMES" ' TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES Sir - I wish to protest against the disgrace- ful attack, on Sunday night in a broadcast by Lord Beaverbrook, upon the late Mr Geoffrey Dawson, my predecessor and successor in the editorship of The Times. Ostensibly a com- mentary on the fourth volumne of the History of The Times, the broadcast was in reality a travesty of the facts recorded in an appendix on the abdication crisis of November-Decem- ber, 1936................. Yours obediently. WICKHAM STEED. May26.'. The article is kept in the book 'A king's story. . The memoirs of H.R.H. the Duke of Windsor K.G. With frontispiece and 22 pages of gravure illustrations.' by King Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor (1894-1972) (record 3151575). There are also three more newspaper cuttings and an invoice in the book (records 748791, 748793-748795).
