content: Early correspondence includes letters from Watson's senior year in high school (1936), her undergraduate years and early fieldwork as well as work in Brazil (1943) and the southwestern United States. It continues until the family's departure for their second trip to Papua New Guinea (1963-1964). Four folders contain correspondence specific to Papua New Guinea (identified by [PNG]). Correspondence from 1986 to 2001 includes work- and publication-related letters as well as correspondence between Watson and Jacquetta Hawkes, Margaret Mead, Alex Vincent, various Missionaries, Terence E. Hays (Hays' Highland Fifties), and the Burke Museum. Not included in this section is the correspondence between Watson and J. David Cole (see Series 3: New Guinea, Sub-series 3.2: Trip 2).
