Abstract
Nevile Henderson was a very sick man by the autumn of 1938, with a cancer of the throat which needed immediate surgery, and necessitated a return to London. He left Berlin in the middle of October and only returned in February 1939. During this period, however, and despite his illness, Henderson remained in touch with Embassy colleagues like Ogilvie-Forbes, and corresponded with Halifax, Cadogan and influential figures like Lord Londonderry. He continued, from afar, to try and influence the course of Anglo-German relations.
