Richard Lee Holt Sr. letter to his wife Minneford Francis Holt, written the night of February 13, 1945

My Darling One Tuesday Night Feb 13th Well my sweet here I am again. And I hope I can do a much better job of writing this time than I have the past few days. But really Honey I have been so darn blue the past few days that I have hardly known what was going on. I don't know it was just one of those spells that I have. I am sure you know what I mean as I think you have had them your self. Honey the mail situation is getting bad again. That is I haven't gotten any mail now in three days. And I am like you when I don't hear at least every other day I get the hebe Jebes or something. Yes Sweetheart your are surely right when you say that I would have a heap more fun if I came to see Minneford in stead of going to see Florence. And one of these days I am going to do just that. Honey the pictures you sent are going the rounds. I was back to Bn this morning and as usual every one was asking about the family, and of course I had to show them the pictures. Maj Douglas & the Captain havent gotten back from pass yet. They should have been back to-day. Honey February is half gone. Boy time is sure flying, but it can't go half fast enough for me. Honey you spoke of having some wiring done in the house. What are you going to have done. Some wall switches put in also som wall lights in our bed room. And I don't remember of there being any wall plugs in the front roo
