July 2025 NOTE on citations of Keast Burke Jack Cato correspondence  

For my various research projects Keast Burke's widow Iris allowed me to photocopy all the original correspondence between Keast Burke and Jack Cato 1940s-1950s as cited in this article. Permission for my use in publication was also given.

I have recently placed sequential ring binders with my copies plus a typed listing of the sequence of letters with my archive at the Capon Library, Art Gallery of New South Wales in July 2025. There are two hand written card indexes to alphabetical topics and another of contents by each letter.

As at July 2025 I have retained my own digital scans of the correspondence and the card indexes.

The original correspondence was donated to the National Library in 2001 but is not easy to find;
