Letter from Archie Greathouse to Speed Community House, October 16, 1943.

Description:	Archie is writing from the desert. He likes this camp. It has a PX so he can get things he needs. They also have bus service to Riverside (137 mi). Spent some time with Dorothy but since they have so much desert training she couldn’t stay. He hears that part time work is easy to find at the powder plant. He has had to fill in as acting 1st Sgt while he’s away.This letter is part of a large group of letter written to or by Jesse G. Dorsey during World War II. Dorsey ran the community house for the Louisville Cement Company in Speed, Indiana. Being a veteran of World War I, he knew the value of providing support to the troops. He wrote letters and sent the company newsletter (Speedometer) to several hundred service men and women during the war. The community house also hosted weekend parties for soldiers from Fort Knox, Kentucky during the war.
