About MeLetter to James McBey from friend and art collector H. H. Kynett, dated 26 February 1954. In it Kynett tells McBey that he enjoyed the comments about Dr. Mutch so much that he had sent a copy on to Reverand Andrew. Kynett also tells McBey that he is about to go to Florida with Phil Mallory to travel aboard Mystic VII.

The letter consists of one sheet typewritten on headed paper. The bottom portion of this piece of paper has been torn off.
