About MeLetter from W. Gordon, Secretary for the Royal Society of Painters and Etchers to James McBey, dated 9 December 1911. In it Gordon informs McBey that after a meeting of the Council it was decided by ballot that he would not be elected as an associate of the Royal Society of Painters and Etchers. Gordon then offers to return the work McBey had sent in to support his application.

The letter consists of one sheet handwritten.
