Description
Letter from Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald to James Leatham. Leatham and MacDonald had a long correspondence, mainly about political matters. Ramsay writes to thank Leatham for his support of the National Insurance Bill in a leader he wrote for the Worker. Mr Snowden was not a popular member of the government, and Leatham had attacked him.
MacDonald further agrees with Leatham in his view of the position of a Member of Parliament. Both believe that an MP should put the Labour party first. Self-interest does not help progress.
