Richard Lee Holt Sr. letter to his wife Minneford Francis Holt, January 5, 1944

1st Sgt Richard L. Holt Mrs Richard L. Holt Btry "B" 936th FA BN. Fayetteville, Arkansas APO #464 % P/M NY, NY New York Ny. RFD #5 Jan. 5, 1944 Italy My Dearest One I am afraid I have been a little late in writing the past few days. Yesterday was my regular day to write but dident get around to it. This leaves me all OK and I hope you are all well at home. We have had a few days of pretty weather again but it has started raining again so I guess we are in for a few more days of bad weather. We have been fireing quite a little to-night, or I should say this morning. I have stayed at the command post to-night and it is now 3:00 A.M. It will soon be time for breakfast. We haven't gotten any mail for two or three days now. But I guess we will get some before long. The Jerrys still throw a few our way once in a while, but I still manage to stay out of their way. This thing should be over one of these fine days. Honey I will try and write an air mail to-morrow, so this will have to do for this time. Write and tell me all the news. All my love & keep your fingers crossed. All my Love Le
