Mackay details further issues with Messrs. George Davidson Limited (see ABDAG009090.48-.49), including not receiving certain prints. He says that his present stock is "fairly large", that he has further enquiries from United States of America, and that he personally has etchings of McBey's hanging in his house in Dunblane.
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.
