Description: |
David is happy to read in the Speed-O-Meter about men he used to work with. Life in the Navy is not much different than working at a mill. He tells about waking up early, getting to class, and doing a lot of drills. He is going on service week soon where he will be working in the food hall. He plans to gaining weight while he works there. He hopes to be home in September. This letter is part of the Jesse G. Dorsey Korean War Correspondence collection. Dorsey was the Director of Recreation and Welfare and editor of the Speed-O-Meter newsletter for the Louisville Cement Company. Dorsey began sending monthly letters and the Speed-O-Meter to local service personnel during WWII. He continued this through the Korean War and for sometime afterwards. |
