Rare Menu From the Atlantic
Rare Menu From the Atlantic Conference Signed by All Guests Including Churchill & Roosevelt Printed bifoliate card 7 x 9 in. Ship Harbor Newfoundland August 9 1941 containing the menu and list of those present at a dinner given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Winston Churchill's honor aboard the USS Flagship Augusta. Menu signed by all guests including: Winston Churchill; Franklin D. Roosevelt; Sumner Welles; Harold R. Stark; George C. Marshall; Ernest J. King; Henry H. Arnold; Harry L. Hopkins; Averill Harriman; Sir Alexander G.M. Cadogan; Sir Alfred D.P.R. Pound; Sir John G. Dill; Sir Wilfrid R. Freeman; and Lord Cherwell.?This menu dates from the first day of the three-day Atlantic Conference which was the first of the wartime conferences arranged by Churchill and Roosevelt before the United States had officially entered the war. During the meeting the two hammered out the "Atlantic Charter " which outlined a vision for a postwar world including the promise by both countries not to seek territorial gains and to pursue global economic cooperation and advancement of social welfare. Churchill and Roosevelt also discussed war strategy and agreed to continue to hold conferences for the duration of the war.?This rare signed menu was given to Delores Hinckley Stover (1924-2009) by retired Ambassador Averill Harriman in the early 1980s while she was working as his personal assistant. Harriman who attended the Atlantic Conference dinner and signed the menu helped in coordinating the Lend-Lease Program for Churchill. Stover had a long career working in the legal field and as a court reporter and she was also heavily active in politics throughout the mid-to-late 20th century. The menu has remained in the family's possession since Stover passed away in 2009 and it was recently featured in an episode of Maryland Public Television's Chesapeake Collectibles.??
