[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.

Marshall Country Club, Marshall, Texas

Black and white photo-postcard of the Marshall Country Club, Marshall, Texas, probably taken in the 1920s. A grassy area is in the foreground and a stream, lake, or water feature runs from left to right, with a narrow wooden bridge crossing it and what looks like a small shack on the opposite bank at the foot of the bridge. Beyond that is the club house in a Craftsman bungalow style, with a side gable roof. The multiple windows on the section next to the door indicate that part of the building was probably a screened area. There are multiple trees along the banks of the water. At the bottom of the image in white letters is the title, "Marshall Country Club, Marshall, Texas" on the left, and on the right "Howard's Stud, Marshall, Texa." There is no postmark or message on the back of the card. Stamped in small letters on the left edge of the card: "Pub. by Photo & Art Postal Card Co., 444 Broadway, N.Y."
