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 corresponded with her over many years. Finlay asks Joyce to get him a regulation EEC fish box, also a traditional wooded one and asks about the paper tallies with the names of the fishing boats which were used when the catch was sold.
