Notes
Please note: language pertaining to Indigenous Peoples used throughout is outdated and may be offensive. Many typed letters have hand-written notes added throughout; many post scripts are hand-written. 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. 143 - 39 includes a sketch of a shelving unit Catharine hoped to have installed in their bedroom. 143 - 64 is the 1958 Christmas card made by Catharine and Peter
