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 he dislikes one of her photographs so much that he turned it around and goes on to discuss some cord that he'd hoped to use for a package being stolen. He continues by discussing how busy he's been and how they've teased one of the guys for the photo his wife sent to him of her wearing shorts. He concludes by talking about how Col. Patterson enjoys frightening the visiting firemen. An air mail envelope postmarked July 26, 1944 with an orange, embossed air mail postage stamp is included.
