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 lets her know that he's received several letters from her and speculates that she hasn't gotten any from him because they're held up somewhere. He goes on to tell her about a V-Mail letter he got from Captain Twitchell from England. He describes the improvement of the food there, the heavy rain they'd received and lets her know he hasn't received any of the items she'd shipped him from home. An air mail envelope postmarked June 15, 1944 with an orange, embossed six cent air mail postage stamp is included.
