MACDONALD

(J. Ramsay, 1866-1937, Prime Minister)

Fine Typed Letter Signed to Oliver Bury

thanking him for his letter with all its helpfulness. I am most grateful to you. The facilities you offer so kindly for Peru will be particularly helpful, and as soon as I arrive in Lima I will present your letter to Mr Hixson and talk my projects over with him. It was so kind of you to make the personal reference to what should be done before finally deciding to go to Cuzco. I shall certainly take that precaution. Quite apart from all this I was really delighted to meet you and have that talk with you at the Peruvian Minister's..., 1 side 4to, Upper Frognal Lodge headed paper, 27th October

Background

Following the King George V's death in January 1936 MacDonald's physical and mental health collapsed. A sea voyage (with his youngest daughter Sheila) was recommended to restore MacDonald's health, but he died on board the liner MV Reina del Pacifico, which operated between Liverpool and Valparaíso, Chile, via the Imperial fortress colony of Bermuda, the West Indies and the Panama Canal, on 9th November 1937, aged 71.
