About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Marguerite McBey, dated 14 November 1948. He thanks Marguerite for her letter, and queries why the Bank of England will not allow her to sell her own investments in England and to spend the money how she wishes in England. He hopes to get the license tags for the station wagon soon, and that there has been a mix-up with the battery. He says that the Palmer portrait is finished, and that he will deliver it to Princeton. He hopes he will see Marguerite before she travels down south.

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.
