Description

In these two handwritten letters, Robert B. Ray writes from Kosciusko, Mississippi to his eventual wife, Denise Beyt where she lived in New Orleans, Louisiana. Ray discusses how he loves talking to her, how much easier running his practice would be if she were with him permanently. He tells her about how he wished he could go fishing and how dull his day had been. He goes on to describe how he wished he could be with her and encourages her to work as much as possible and save money. The letter is written on Dr. R. B. Ray letterhead. An envelope addressed to Beyt is postmarked May 15, 1928 and includes a red, two cent George Washington postage stamp.
