Three greeting cards designed by artist Mary Weiler, who lived in Whaletown, and a series of four pen and ink drawings illustrating life aboard a fish boat. The latter were probably used as illustrations for an article written by Douglas (see Box 1 folder 29).

Series consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence generated during Douglas's residence on Cortes (1949-1993) and covering subjects of primarily local interest.

Subjects covered include daily life, community activities, B.C. and Cortes Island history and Douglas's health concerns.
