About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Marguerite McBey, dated 5 July, but year unknown. McBey writes that the "morning is hot" and that he "awoke violently". He describes his journey to London, and how it was not very pleasant (wet tar on the roads). He states he will make an appointment with "Campbell" to get a tooth fixed.
