Mrs Richard L. Holt 1st Sgt R.L. Holt Fayetteville, Arkansas Btry "B" 936th FA BN RFD#5 A. P. O. 464 % Post Marked New York NY. March 25, 1944 My Dearest One. Italy Read your letter of the 11th today, and will take your advice and write V-mails for a while. I have been writing an Air mail one day and V-mail the next. I hope you caught Wayne in time and he dosent have measles. You have enough to do without the kids being sick. I got a letter from Chas today so guess I had better drop him a few lines to-night. I think I owe him a letter anyway. Honey I am glad you are getting your checks OK now. And I sure hope you are getting my mail. I have written every day except the four days I was on pass. I thought at first that was why you missed out for a few days. But I guess I was wrong. Honey things wont never be hunky Dory as you say as long as I am over here & you over there. Of couse I know what you meant tho. Honey one page just isn't enough for me some times. So I guess I will write another one to-night after supper it is now 3:30 in the afternoon. Lots of Love for now. Le
