Description
In this handwritten letter, Robert B. Ray writes from where he is stationed near New Guinea, to his wife, Denise Beyt Ray in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Ray informs her that he's finally received three letters from her that were dated back in March and advises her to send through air or v-mail. He goes on to speak of the work they're doing, what the place is like and how they're spending their time. He requests some things be sent to him and advises her that he's sending some of his things back home to her. He goes on to describe a dream he had about her cheating on him and reminds her what would happen if that were real. He concludes by speculating that the war with Japan will end before the war in Europe. An air mail envelope with a six cent air mail postage stamp is included.
