Description
Letter received by Lois Jackson Dees, Goldsboro, North Carolina, from her brother Pvt. Leon W. Jackson, serving in the U.S. Army in Company D, 5th Training Battalion Camp Wheeler, Georgia. The letter is written on stationery featuring cartoons of anti-Axis propaganda. Jackson mentions a visit to Macon, Ga., during the weekend, that he saw two films—Random Harvest and So Proudly We Hail, that he threw his first hand grenade, and his recent camp activities.
