Richard Lee Holt Sr. letter to his wife Minneford Francis Holt, June 24, 1944

3 the jimmys these long evenings, you should see me some time. It dosent get dark untill almost 10 o'clock. And boy the evenings that there isnt something happening to employ my mind I almost go nuts. Well that takes care of your Air mails so now for your Air mails. Yes Honey I know about Capt Brilt. He wasent so very far from us when it happened. I thought I wrote you about it at the time. Honey you said that just writing about having one of my pictures made making you want me. Well you can imagine what yours did to me. But maby one of these days that will all end. So you got lots of invasion news, well we got a little ourselves, it sure sounded good to us to. Well my sweet it is getting dark so guess I had better wind this up. Will have to wait and write Mother to-morrow if I can. I never know just how far I will get when I start a letter. I should get some more mail to-morrow. Our mail service has been a little slow lately. But you can't expect to much when we move like we do. So keep that chin up Sweet & we will win the war. I Love you sweet with all my heart Your Own Le
