Whitney (In Deep Woods)
n.d.

A sketch on paper with various lines and cursive handwriting overlapping. The text includes phrases like "to Whitney" and "indeed woods" among other illegible words. The drawing features abstract shapes and what appears to be leaf-like patterns. At the bottom, there's a reference number "PL-34694" written in a different style.
