About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Marguerite McBey, dated 12 August 1947. McBey writes from 1, Holland Park Avenue, London. He notes that he had been through Marguerite's "negative box", praising her for her efforts but that the "principle" of keeping the negatives in a particular order was "not very good". He states that the negatives should be divided into subject or place, followed by date.
