About MeCorrespondence from North of Scotland Bank Ltd. to Ann Gillespie, Early Paper Ephemera, dated 21 November, 1898. Acknowledges letters received from Ann Gillespie, James McBey's mother. Letter is regarding a "place" for James McBey in Aberdeen, possibly as an apprentice (the reverse of the letter indicates wages from apprenticeship).

This object is part of an archive that belonged to Marguerite McBey. As a result of her generosity, Aberdeen Art Gallery holds the largest archive of James McBey's work, including prints, drawings, sketchbooks, oil paintings and memorabilia such as this letter.
