Richard Lee Holt Sr. letter to his wife Minneford Francis Holt, May 9, 1944

Mrs Richard L. Holt 1st Sgt R.L. Holt Fayetteville, Arkansas Btry "B" 936th FA BN RFD #5 A.P.O. 464 % Post Master NY. NY. May 9, 1944 My Dearest Italy Hello Sweet & how are you by now. I am a little tired but otherwise OK. I just finished transfering a duty roster & making out my usual reports. So after eating a bar of candy I decided to write a few lines. It is about 10:30 PM and I am alone to-night. Bill has gone to a show and the Capt. is out also so I have the place all to myself. I got a letter from Wylie to-day but, still no letter from my best girl maby to- morrow I will get two or three. To-day has been pretty warm. I believe we are going to have some hot weather here this summer. The Red Cross girls were here again to-day with doughnuts. They make it around about every two weeks now. Honey there isnt anything new here at the present, just the same old thing. Saw Milford Hembree this afternoon. He was OK. Dident get a chance to see Maj Jackson. Honey I see my paper is about up so will close for now. Hope you & the youngesters are OK. I Love you Sweetheart Le
