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 23, 1944 My Dearest One. Hello Sweet & how are you to-day. Honey the date cake come to-day. And it sure is good. It was in perfect condition, you had it wrapped in the oil paper and it was moist, almost like it had only been baked a day or two [instead of six weeks]. I got a 12 page Air mail from Mother today. It sure has a lot of news in it. Now if I can just get your Air mail tomorrow. I should have about all the news & [scandel]. Honey went to Naples today & got to see Mt. Vesuvius in action. It is quit a sight. I guess you have probably read all about it in the paper. Honey I am a little tired tonight to write much of a letter but will write an Air Mail tomorrow night. This leaves me feeling fine. We had a pretty good Snow Storm for a while this morning but it dident last long. I love you with all my heart Sweet. Your Hubby Le
