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 tells her of a child who had drowned in the bathtub an how sad it was. He goes on to tell her he wants her to come up to visit but that he will not return to New Orleans until she changes the way she behaves when he is there. He ends the letter asking after a pain she's been having and encourages her to take it seriously. The letter is written on Dr. R. B. Ray letterhead. An envelope addressed to Beyt is postmarked July 14, 1928 and includes two green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamps.
