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 fusses at her for not calling him the night before and expresses that she must not do it so again. He goes on to tell her that a man in town is considering hiring a nurse for his wife and Ray tells her to let him know what she would charge so that she could come up for several months. He concludes with information about an article that was written on a surgery he participated on. The letter is written on Dr. R. B. Ray letterhead. An envelope addressed to Beyt is postmarked June 18, 1928 and includes a red, two cent George Washington postage stamp.
