About MeCorrespondence from Eneas Mackay to James McBey, dated 3 March 1908. Letter is addressed to a "J. MacVey, Esq', requesting certain etchings to sell. He claims to have an enquiry for McBey's 'Canongate'.

On the reverse is, handwritten in pencil, a draft of a letter and a list of etchings with prices.

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.
