About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Marguerite Loeb (later McBey), undated. James McBey writes that his friend Carl brought back roughly 25 skins of a "Phoenician purple colour" - they have been divided into 3 each, with the rest to be made into studio cushions. He hopes Marguerite will enjoy her time (though does not mention where), and that she will not get distracted by "chance young men".

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.
