About MeCorrespondence from Eneas Mackay to James McBey, dated 25 April 1912, regarding a list of etchings Mackay will put together, to send to McBey by the end of the week. Mackay also encloses a cutting from the "Morning Post", possibly from the previous week, referring to a "new comer", and asking if the"new comer" was McBey. The cutting is not included in this object.

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.
