- File pertains to 37 letters written by Catharine Robb Whyte to her mother, Edith Morse Robb from August 1932 to November 1932. Topics include daily life in Banff, a trip to Lake O'Hara Bungalow Camp to sketch and paint [with the Links], plans to get Skoki ready for the season, visiting Lake McArthur, Castle Mountain Camp and Lake Louise, helping painter Mr. Jack find good painting spots and learning painting techniques from he and Carl Rungius, the engagement of Catharine's brother Russ, daily life in Concord [including Uncle George's finances after Stock Market Crash and Olive possibly not attending college], the marriage of Elizabeth Bosley, Peter and Cliff creating a dark room above the store and enlarging negatives and photographs, packing things into Skoki, painting J.D. Curren, making plans to head east for the holidays, and visiting with locals and others [including Mr. and Mrs. Hammond, Mr. and Mrs. Link, the Moore family, Carl Rungius, Mrs. Kerr, the Earl of Bessborough, Cyril Paris, Ted Paris, Norman Knight, Earl Spencer, Vic Kutschera, Jimmy Simpson and his cook, Jessie McClure, Margarite Orr [?], J.D. Curren, and Mr. and Mrs. P.J. Jennings].
- Notes
- Please note: language pertaining to Indigenous Peoples, people of colour, and those of the Jewish faith used throughout is outdated and offensive. Some items were stapled together and therefore scanned together as one document. Letters are all handwritten and include some hotel and camp letterheads. Some letters are marked with a small x in pencil, indicating where Jon Whyte made notes for use in his project "Catharine Robb Whyte, Peter Whyte: Commemorative Portfolio," originally published in 1981. Some letters also have numbers written in pencil crayon, believed to be from when originally processed.

- Please note: language pertaining to Indigenous Peoples used throughout is outdated and may be offensive. Few letters written on hotel/ship letterhead. Some letters contain small sketches of hotel/motel layouts, road layouts, and room/ship cabin details. Most letters are numbered in red pencil crayon in the upper margin of the first page as part of an unknown project. Some letters are marked with a small x in pencil, indicating where Jon Whyte made notes for use in his project "Catharine Robb Whyte, Peter Whyte: Commemorative Portfolio," originally published in 1981. 93 - 05 page 5 contains a sketch of the Moana Hotel's placement and general laylout in relation to the beach.
