- Description
- View of a village under vast clouds, with a stretch of water in the distance. In the left foreground is a rectangular home, whose walls are made up of ochre, yellow and red sections. A roughly sketched rise of brown, brown-grey and blue rock lies in the right foreground. A brown road swings between the foreground house and rocks. Beyond this, is a line of green, red and blue houses. Tall black poles rise up from among the homes. Near the centre of the picture is a short stretch of white, indicating a body of water. Above the horizon are layers of violet-grey clouds (with touches of ochre and pink). Lighter violet-grey clouds extend upwards on the right-hand side, while pale grey-yellow clouds rise on the left-hand side. An area of blue sky stretches diagonally from the upper left corner towards the lower right section of the sketch.

- 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- Please note: language pertaining to Indigenous peoples of Indonesia used throughout is outdated and may be offensive.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].
