About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Marguerite McBey, dated 17 August 1939. McBey writes that he received Marguerite's long letter, and is glad that she is having such a good time. He refers to a "hors d'ouvre" supper and a brunch. He also encloses a cutting (attached to page four of the letter) from the Daily Telegraph, which features an advertisement for "Miss Smallwood's Society for the Assistance of Ladies in Reduced Circumstances".

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.
