'Sir William MacGregor' Proof and printed copies of Reid's appreciation of Sir William MacGregor, with research notes and related correspondence. The correspondence includes letters from MacGregor's widow, Mary MacGregor,of Berwickshire, written shortly before her own death, late in 1919, his daughter, Helen Faden-MacGregor, of Switzerland and personal reminiscences from a small circle of his friends and colleagues, including Sir Ronald Ross, editor of Science Progress and William Watt of Strathdon Manse, Aberdeenshire. Sir Ronald Ross' letter recounts his own experiences in gaining acceptability of his cure for malaria, the support for his methods given by MacGregor whilst he was governor in Lagos, and a joint trip to Ismailia in Egypt to advise the Suez Canal Company on the same. William Watt is probably the son of the late Reverend James Watt of Strathdon, whom Reid mentions as nurturing the young MacGregor's academic potential and providing financial assistance for him to continue his education. Reid sent reprints of the biography to approximately 30 individuals: a list of recipients with their letters of thanks is contained in this file. There is also a small collection of other MacGregor obituaries and appreciations, one of his bookplates, and photographs of MacGregor in Colonial ceremonial dress, his birthplace at Hillockhead Cottage, Towie, Aberdeenshire and his grave in Towie Churchyard, Aberdeenshire. 1919 - 1920
