- Notes
- Please note: language pertaining to Indigenous peoples of Indonesia used throughout is outdated and may be offensive. Most letters are written on hotel/lodge 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. Some letters have been numbered in pencil in the upper margin of the first page for an unknown project. 96 - 01 appears to be missing the last page[s]. 96 - 06 page 11 contains a sketch of the layout of the hotel they stayed in. 96 - 18 appears to be missing the last page[s].
