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 tells her about practice shooting his sub-machine gun and describes what kind of work he's been doing. He goes on to talk about one of the men on base finding out that two of "his girls" have gotten or will be getting married while he's gone. An air mail envelope postmarked June 29, 1944 with an orange, embossed air mail postage stamp is included.
