The ledgers were acquired c.25 years ago from a large house clearance near York. (This noted from this item’s previous sale at Dominic Winter Auctions of 30 January 2019).The handwriting is not Churchill's, nor any of his known secretaries, according to the Churchill Archives at the University of Cambridge. Churchill usually dictated his works and correspondence to typists in the first instance, and these were then hand corrected by Churchill, retyped and corrected once more. The only clue to authorship is a name, probably in the same hand as the manuscript itself, scribbled on a front free endpaper, possibly 'Philip H. Richings' or ‘Philip H Beeching” but this is very unclear and searching on these has delivered no answers. £200-300
