Winchester and Winsted once blossomed with commerce. From cheeses that were sold to the most exclusive restaurants in major cities to tourism that proclaimed "the lake's the thing," the towns thrived. The production of clocks, clothing, knives and gold- and silver-plated coffin trimmings helped establish the region's prominence. Famous names like Rockwell, Beardsley, Boyd, Gilbert and Strong highlight the town's history, not only due to their business acumen but also because of their philanthropy. Colonel Samuel B. Horne, who earned the Medal of Honor in the Civil War, along with noteworthy journalists and artists all made their home here. And then, in 1955, disaster struck. Join local historian and author Virginia Shultz-Charette as she recounts the town's development and how the great flood changed everything.

Kempt writes from a transport ship, which will be leaving early the following day. He will therefore be unable to visit Winchester and his fellow officers. Encloses reasons for declining doing the General duty of an agent for Prisoners of War, as well as complaints by Col. Baestler and B. General Winder. Kempt characterizes their complaints as groundless, and asks for Winchester's comments. He warns that these two officers must attend the requisite meetings with him, or they will risk forfeiting their parole.
