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 complains about the hold-up of mail delivery there but is triumphant in his procurement of some cigars while he awaits his friends to ship him some. He goes on to talk about the fresh meat they've had in recent days and share how Col. Patterson gets a kick out of scaring newcomers. An air mail envelope postmarked July 29, 1944 with a red air mail postage stamp is included.
