Letter from Frances C. Mahan to Jesse G. Dorsey, May 9, 1945.

Description:	Mahan writes he has been very busy for a month. All she did was eat, sleep and work. She was in the delivery, maternity ward for 3 months, now she is S.O.Q. sick officers. She cleans up after them. She comments on the changes in Speed and longs to come home. She will try to get a picture made to send him but does not think there will be room on the board. 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.
