Description
In this handwritten letter, Robert B. Ray writes from where he is stationed, to his wife, Denise Beyt Ray in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Ray informs her that they have moved closer to their final destination but they are all just about tired of life on the boat. He expresses his frustration with the mail system as he has not received any in a while and goes on to advise her to go visit her doctor in New Orleans for a full check up. He continues by describing what life is like on the ship, what the ship's hospital is like, and what type of religious services are held. An envelope with a red, six cent air mail postage stamp is included.
