About MeThis letter is part of an archive that belonged to Joyce Laing OBE. The artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, was a personal friend of the donor and sent her an example of each new poem print and multiple as it was made and also corresponded with her over many years. This letter was sent with an enclosure, perhaps photos, which had been removed from the envelope.
