Camp Gordon continues after WWI ends

About a month ago, I wrote an article for the Dunwoody Crier about Camp Gordon in the years after World War I ended. You can read the article here.

Since that time, Clint Daniel, grandson of Edward Clinton Daniel, Sr. shared the document below. His grandfather worked as a watchman at Camp Gordon, guarding warehouses near the railroad, beginning in 1920. The letter was sent by Quartermaster T. C. Locke and indicates that Daniel will receive $100 per month for the job. Thank you to Clint Daniel for sharing this historic document.
