Juliana's cabinet was then in turn bequeathed to Anna Maria. Anna Maria sold her cabinet in 1945 to nephew Oliver Vaughan Gurney Hoare (1882-1857) The remaining cabinet at a later date: Oliver Vaughan Gurney Hoare (b.1862), 16 Charing Cross, London and then sold or gifted to his brother: Samuel John Gurney Hoare, 1st and Last Viscount Templewood (1860-1959) of Templewood, Northrepps, Norfolk.The exchange of the cabinets between Anna Maria MacInnes and her nephew Oliver Vaughan Gurney Hoare is discussed in a series of undated letters between the two (to be sold with the cabinets) in one of which MacInnes writes: 'I wonder if you know the history of the cabinets. They belonged to Bury Hill. I am almost sure to our great grandfather. One was given to our mother and one to aunt Juliana. When aunt Juliana died she left hers to us so that they might come together again.'Anna Maria would have been familiar with the cabinets as her parents lived at Bury Hill with her grandfather Charles Barclay when she was a young girl.

Churchill (Right Hon. Winston Spencer, 1874-1965). The World Crisis, 6 volumes, 1st editions, 1923-31, black & white plates and maps including some folding, scattered pencil annotations and marginalia to volume 1 by Sir Frederick Whyte, a few notes shaved, author's signed presentation inscription to front flyleaf of volume 1, 'Inscribed for Frederick Whyte by Winston S. Churchill 1948' with related note by the recipient in pen and pencil beneath, a further ink note by Whyte giving instructions to binder at end of contents to volume 1., all edges gilt, modern blue crushed morocco gilt by Bayntun Riviere, 8vo, together with a typed letter initialled from Whyte to Churchill and a typed letter signed from Churchill to Whyte in reply both folded and preserved in an old envelope tipped on to front pastedown of vol 1 with Whyte's pen and pencil notes to rear flap Sir Alexander Frederick Whyte KCSI (1883-1970) was a British civil servant, Liberal Party politician, writer and journalist. While MP for Perth, Whyte served as parliamentary private secretary (1910-15) to Winston Churchill, who was Home Secretary (1910-11) and then First Lord of the Admiralty (1911-15). Whyte's letter is dated 24th September 1948 and refers to some notes he was belatedly sending him regarding the events of 29 July to 4 August 1914. Evidently, Whyte has used these notes and memories to annotate the relevant pages of volume 1 where he was personally involved and sent the notes on to Churchill. Whyte's letter states that these notes 'might be material for an authentic footnote throwing some light on the awkward predicament of Asquith's cabinet in the last days of peace in 1914'. Whyte also adds a request that if he were to send the first volume of Churchill's 'World Crisis' to him would he 'write on the fly-leaf a word or two about those days in which I was "pars minima" to your "maxima"?'. Churchill's reply, Chartwell, 8 October 1948, thanks Whyte for his note and for sending him copies of the records of 'our conversations and of events just before the outbreak of the 1914-18 war. It seems to strike some notes in my memory', and agreeing to inscribe the book for him. (8)
