- Square manilla envelope with one wooden square and one cardboard square with unknown purposes inside. The envelope has “Peter Whyte” written in cursive above “1.60” written in pencil - “9203” is stamped in black in the middle. The wooden square has a hole drilled in the middle and angled edges, making one side a slightly smaller square than the other, and there are two small pieces of white adhesive tape, one of which has random letters and numbers typed on it [possibly a spacer for a tripod]. The cardboard square has a small hole poked in the middle and blocked off on one side with what appears to be tinfoil taped down with several layers of red adhesive tape.

Printed on the front cover is “The Beverly Spiral Sketch Book, (Rough Surface), For Pencil, Watercolors, Crayon and Ink, M” in dark brown. Sketches feature Christmas card ideas, figure studies, teepee interiors, rows of teepees with people in front/around them, animals, a house [done in watercolour paints, possibly by a child named Ian], and the funeral of Chief David Bearspaw, 1956. Some pages appear to have been torn from other sketchbooks and inserted in this one - there are also smaller papers of sketches folded up and tucked between the pages.
