Description
In this handwritten letter, postmarked March 22, 1928, Robert B. Ray writes to his fiancé, Denise Bety (Ray) in response to a letter he received from her. He remarks on her use of alcohol and responds by saying he's never indulged and never plans to. He goes on let her know that he was sent the wrong instrument and would like the correct one and also requests some other medical supplies. He talks of Dr. Lapsley's flying lessons and how Robert will be filling in for him at the practice while Dr. Lapsley is away for his lessons. He discusses how much more blue than her when they're apart. An envelope with a Kosciusko, Mississippi postmark and two, green postage stamps is included.
