About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Marguerite McBey, undated. Sent from 39, Heriot Row, Edinburgh. He writes that he had a very "comfortable journey" up to Edinburgh; the weather was apparently pleasant too. He notes that he has been given a small room at "the Rox". He also praises an "excellent studio".
