Wilbur Fisher writes home from Camp Wheeler GA 1918
Letter addressed to his cousin Dora George. He notes that "he got a letter from Bessie Lambert the other day," which is an odd phrasing give Wilbur married Bessie in Dec 1912, six and half years before this letter was written. He expects to leave camp Wheeler for Rockford IL or Battle Creek MI in about a month. In writing about having to hike ten miles to a gunnery (range) with his pack, he reveals himself to be rather racist, writing he "sweat like a negro at an election." He closes asking For to send pictures from home.
