Description
In this handwritten letter, dated March 16, 1928, Robert B. Ray writes to his fiancé, Denise Beyt (Ray) to let her know he made it back home safely. He tells her his dad's idea of perhaps moving to California and his reluctance to go help him scope it out. He concludes by telling her how much he misses her and hopes to be able to see her again at Easter. He signs the letter Burris, his middle name. The letter is written on Harvey Gilliland Sheriff and tax collector stationary and includes an envelope with a Kosciusko, Mississippi postmark and a special delivery postage stamp and a red, two cent postage stamp.
