Salutations mattered a great deal to Baldwin Snr: "Baldwin was punctilious about the forms of address in his letters. He used several different salutations and valedictions, in order to indicate precisely the relationship he had with, or wished to suggest towards, his correspondent. An individual he gradually came to know, or wanted to draw closer, might pass beyond the formal ‘Dear [surname]...Yours sincerely, Stanley Baldwin’ to ‘My Dear [surname]...Yours ever, S.B.’, and then on to the closer ‘Dear [forename]...Yours S.B.’." cf Williamson, Philip, and Baldwin, Edward, Baldwin Papers: A Conservative Statesman, 1908-1947 (2004), pp.13-14 [1][2]
