GOVERNOR GENERAL TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING,  

FROM THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE COMMONWEALTH.  

/0 f.12.36.  

'..With humble duty desire to inform Your Majesty  

 

that Mr. Baldwin has told me that Your Majesty has  

informally intimated to him that Your Majesty contemplates  

abdication. Your Maj esty’s Government in the Commonwealth  

of Australia deeply sympathise with Your Majesty and  

sincerely regret that Your Majesty should feel it necessary  

to take this step. We beg to ask in the name of Your  

Majesty’s subjects in the Commonwealth of Australia that  

Your Majesty will reconsider your decision and continue  

to reign over us.  

J.A. LYONS.
