Description

In this typed letter, Robert B. Ray writes from where he is stationed near New Guinea, to his wife, Denise Beyt Ray in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Ray updates her on the mail situation again and informs her that he's sending her some of the local money from where he's stationed so she and his dad can see it. He goes on to talk about the amount of dogs on base, his cigars, and how he takes atabrine every day to avoid getting yellow. An air mail envelope with an orange, embossed six cent air mail postage stamp is included. The postmark has been torn from the envelope.
