General note

This accession of McKay's papers is partially fragmented and occasionally illegible. While one of the original volumes has page numbers, the balance of the collection lacks pagination. The reel list will show page numbers, where applicable, and will indicate the number of pages to be expected within groups of documents or diary entries. Some of the letterbook pages appear to have experienced water damage and are completely or partially illegible.
