A pencilled note written by the King after signing the Instrument of Abdication on 10 December 1936, referring to Mrs Simpson's efforts to dissuade him from giving up the throne. This note was sent to Baldwin, asking him to refer to these efforts in his speech to the House of Commons later that day, which would give an account of the events leading up the Abdication. Baldwin did not mention Mrs Simpson in his speech.
