Description
In this handwritten letter, Robert B. Ray writes from Kosciusko, Mississippi to his eventual wife, Denise Beyt where she lived in New Orleans, Louisiana. Ray begins the letter with assuring Beyt that he loves her and appears to be angry that she assumed he had been cheating on her. He tells her to let him know if she still loves him and if she doesn't they will both move on. The letter ends with Ray asking her opinion on whether or not he should accept a job offer in Ruleville, Mississippi or stay in Kosciusko. The letter is written on Dr. R. B. Ray letterhead. An envelope addressed to Beyt is postmarked April 25, 1928 and includes a blue special delivery postage stamp and a red, two cent George Washington postage stamp.
