[Letter from Lewis McCutchan to Mary McAllister McCutchan and Marion Sims McCutchan - June 28, 1922]

Letter from Lewis McCutchan to his parents Mary and Marion Sims McCutchan discussing his work at the Harrison County Y.M.C.A. Camp for Boys, Taylor's Island, Karnack, Texas. He describes his duties, including being in charge of the cook's tent and dining hall. He mentioned that they went for a motor boat ride, and that it was his first. He comments on the boys' opinions of him as being strict, and his opinion that many of the boys had had very little discipline at home. The letter is written on camp stationery that includes a halftone image of camp staff and boys standing in a double line.
