Letter from Arnold G. Fischer to Jesse Dorsey, August 25, 1944.

Description:	Fischer tells Dorsey how nice it was to come back from a trip and find his letter and the Speedometer in his mailbox. He is very busy because of reduced personnel. It is his 3rd year down there. They are in the middle of the rainy season which makes flying difficult because of the high mountains. The political situation is not as serious as some of the papers say. 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.
