Summary
Envelope from Cecil McKay probably dated January 1928. It was originally secured by drawing pins to the top of the crate which houses two plaster moulds of relief profiles of H.V. McKay, made by Wallace Anderson, 1926-1928.
The reference to 'bust' on the envelope and in the letter is inaccurate as the crate actually contains two moulds for relief profiles of McKay.
