About MeCorrespondence from James McBey to Marguerite McBey, dated 11 December 1943. The object consists of five sheets of paper. McBey writes that the wedding mentioned in ABDAG008318.209 did not initially occur due to "red tape, and more red tape". But McBey searched for an acquaintance, a "Doctor of Divinity", to conduct the ceremony late at night, in a house.
