Letter from Alvin Karlinsky to Jesse Dorsey, November 30, 1942.

Description:	Karlinsky thanks Dorsey for the weekend at the Speed Community House, for dinner at the Snodgrass home on Sunday afternoon and the tour of the cement plant. He appreciated the small town. The residents were so friendly. He had not paid much attention to the town of Speed before but from now on when he sees the mill or its product, he will recall the hospitality he was given while there. His only regret of the weekend was that he did not listen to Dorsey’s records.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.
