Letter from [Arthur] Neville Chamberlain (Privy Council Office, Whitehall [London]) to WSC, on the leadership of the Conservative Party. Chamberlain thanks WSC for his letter, and says that he understands his view that as Prime Minister in a Government embracing all three political parties, WSC felt it inappropriate to be the leader of just one party. Chamberlain therefore agrees to retain the leadership himself, as the best way of helping WSC in serving the cause of national unity, which was so important to them both. Signed typescript.
