About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Mrs. Bryce, dated 17 March 1918, and containing five sheets, a ticket souvenir, and an envelope.

The letter includes a discussion on the enclosed ticket souvenir from Burshela, James McBey's memory while in hospital, McBey's Christmas as a guest of the American Army at Jerusalem, his uneventful 34th birthday, the weather of the winter in Egypt, requests for newspaper cuttings regarding artists, and a criticism of the English taste in "garish colour" in art.

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 correspondence.
