Scope and Contents
This collection consists of photocopies of letters written by Bruce B. Cameron to his future wife, Meredith College student Lottie Fales, as well as later letters written by their son, Daniel D.

Daniel Cameron’s letters offer a soldier’s experience of the Second World War, including the tenor of post-D-Day France, and also chronicle Daniel Cameron’s father’s illness and eventual death while serving as Mayor of Wilmington.
