“This is an addition to the chapter called The New Regime.”


In this brief letter to the chief copy editor for his publishers, Winston Churchill sends an addition to a chapter mid-way through Volume IV of his four-volume biography of his ancestor, John Churchill, the 1st Duke of Marlborough (1650-1722). George G. Harrap & Company published Volume IV in 1938, with "The New Regime" as chapter XX in that volume.


In the appended Table of Contents, Churchill crosses out the titles of three chapters and retitles them, though the first is later merged with another chapter before publication.


Excerpts


“This is an addition to the chapter called The New Regime.... I do not think it necessary to reprint Chapters XX to XXV at present, as their condition has very nearly reached its final form.”


“I send you the latest Contents Table which will enable you to keep track of the various changes which impose themselves at this stage.”
