Written from Camp Keithley on the island of Mindanao in February 1911, this personal letter offers a glimpse into daily life at an American military post in the Philippines during the early years of U.S. colonial administration. Preserved within the Willis W. Wagener family papers, it reflects the ordinary routines, hospital laundry duty, quiet posts, and letters from home, that filled the lives of servicemen stationed far from the United States in the years before World War I.
