About MeTyped correspondence from W.M. Gillian to James McBey, Early Paper Ephemera, dated 15 June 1906. Letter suggests McBey should let him have a photograph of a picture of a street or coast scene around Aberdeen, for an article on Aberdeen.

To the left of the correspondence is illegible handwriting in pencil. On the reverse is a letter, possibly a draft of a response, handwritten in ink. The draft mentions particular etchings of McBey's, such as "Albert Basin", but is largely illegible.

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.
