Letter from Charles A. Richardson to Jesse Dorsey, January 21, 1944.

Description:	Richardson tells Dorsey that with the new training system they do not have much time to write. He has made three trips up north and wished he had known the Himebough boys were in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. He would have looked them up. He goes all over the country picking up prisoners and is concerned about the responsibility. He really liked the book of pictures from home that Dorsey sent for Christmas.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.
