About MeCorrespondence from G.P. Putnam's Sons Ltd. to James McBey, wishing him well for his visit to Africa, and best wishes regarding the book McBey "may feel inspired to write". Refers again to the article within the "Daily Herald", dated January 25th 1932 (first reference to this article can be found in ABDAG009504.16). Requests that McBey should be "egotistical" and tell his own "feelings and emotions", but also to provide "fresh and interesting" information about well-known people should he have anything.

Suggests historical interest of descriptions of people, places, food, clothing, servants.

Letter is dated 1 November 1933.
