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 discusses the possible rent on the office he's interested in and the possibility of moving to the Rio Grande to practice. He goes on to tell her that he does not feel she loves him as much as he loves her and tells her to do as she pleases but to just let him know if she is done with him. He expresses his frustration with her reluctance to come visit him and her plans to be away until September. The letter is written on Dr. R. B. Ray letterhead. An envelope addressed to Beyt is postmarked August 1, 1928 and includes two green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamps.
