About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Eneas Mackay, dated 13 May 1912, possibly a draft. The letter is regarding a list of prints and etchings, and McBey thanks Mackay for his enthusiasm in selling his prints. On the reverse is a "list of etchings" that have been "received for sale", though mostly 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.
