Letter from Gerald E. Gerry Tiffany to Jesse G. Dorsey, April 15, 1943.

Description:	Tiffany writes from Fort Knox, Kentucky. Tiffany thanks Dorsey for the nice weekend he spent in Speed. He is looking forward to Miss Caudill bringing some of the girls down to the service club in Fort Knox. He is going to an Easter egg hunt in Henryville this weekend. Many of the men in camp want to come visit Speed after he told them about the time he had there. 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.
