Mrs Richard L. Holt 1st Sgt R.L. Holt Fayetteville, Arkansas Btry "B" 936th FABN RFD#5 A.P.O. 464% Post Master New York NY June 3/44 My Dearest One. (1) Italy Honey I am really ashamed to write, I know you are going to be standing on your head by the time you get this. I have missed two days writing, but we have been on the move so much of the time I just haven't had the time or the energy to write. I was anxious to get rolling for a long time. But now I am beginning to want a few days rest. The past few days have been on the like a race track Old Jerry has sure been on the run, and us right after him. It has sure been a job to keep up with the Infantry. We are back some where near Maj Jackson again, but as yet havent seen him. Also Maj Blood is some where around. Honey I hope the twins & everyone else is OK. As for myself am OK except for being a little tired. But I don't expect to be any other way as long as this push is going on. And I don't think that will be this side of the Alps Mts. Well loks like another page I love you Le
