About MeTyped correspondence from Eneas Mackay to James McBey, dated 27 May 1912, and regarding a parcel of etchings, received from McBey. Mackay has shown the etchings to customers, and requests "impressions of every new plate". He says orders for samples of McBey's work have come from Bradford, Derby in United Kingdom, Toronto (Canada), and Providence, Springfield, Hartford and Jury (United States of America).

On the reverse is a handwritten draft of a reply to Mackay, from McBey.

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.
