About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Marguerite McBey, undated. McBey writes that he feels sleepless, perhaps because he is missing Marguerite, or perhaps "it is a slight indigestion". He writes that he recently played croquet and golf, and how he is not impressed with the "shutter movement" of a recently-received camera. He also writes how certain ties are too "short" for his neck.
