Two cards, both 11 x 9cms, One postmarked 1905 retails his movements, returning to London from Lossiemouth, ending Glad to answer anything I can!; the other a thank you for congratulations [on election result(s)] hoping to meet up with her but he does not expect to be in her neighvourhood. See Image. Note: In 1906, the LRC changed its name to the Labour Party, amalgamating with the ILP. In that same year, 29 Labour MPs were elected, including MacDonald, for Leicester, who then became one of the leaders of the Parliamentary Labour Party. These Labour MPs undoubtedly owed their election to the 'Gladstone?MacDonald pact' between the Liberals and Labour, a minor party supporting the Liberal governments of Henry Campbell-Bannerman and H. H. Asquith. MacDonald became the leader of the left wing of the party, arguing that Labour must seek to displace the Liberals as the main party of the left [Wikipedia]
