- Notes
- Please note: language and attitudes pertaining to Asian people [especially Chinese and Japanese] used throughout is outdated offensive. Most letters are written on hotel/ship letterhead. Most letters have been numbered in red pencil in the upper margin for 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. 95 - 03 page 4 contains a sketch of a cross-bow. 95 - 07 appears to be missing the last page[s]. 95 - 14 page 2 contains sketches in pencil of a Chinese ship and a woman with a child on her back. 95 - 25 appears to be missing the last page[s].
