About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Marguerite McBey, dated 10 August 1934. He says he has received a letter from a Mrs. Hurst, which he will send to Marguerite after he has replied. He says he has just returned from the "Stevens Rooms", enclosing a part of the catalogue (which is not attached to this letter currently). The part of the catalogue he encloses details the three items McBey bought for £2.12/- in total.

He complains he has not heard anything from Marguerite since a letter from Lisbon (date unknown).

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.
