Description

In this handwritten V-mail letter, Robert B. Ray writes from the boat at sea where he is assigned to his wife, Denise Beyt Ray in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Ray lets her know that he has made it to land for a short time and is hurt that he didn't receive any mail from her during mail call. He goes on to tell her he wants her to stay with his parents instead of moving back to their house. He then advises her the best way to send mail to him and requests for her to send him some photographs. An air mail envelope with a red air mail postage stamp is included.
