About MeTelegram from Jeant (Jan) Boehme to James McBey, dated 25 September 1959. Boehme writes:

"SORRY YOU CANNOT ATTEND APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION AND INFORMATION KEEP SECRET".

This is in response to the following record ABDAG008319.126, which contains a previous telegram from Boehme and a response from McBey. Judging from ABDAG008319.126, it seems that Boehme is the principal researcher for television programme "This Is Your Life", and that McBey had been invited as a guest for a programme regarding Lowell Thomas.

This object is part of a collection of personal correspondence to and from James McBey.

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.
