Description
In this typed letter, Robert B. Ray writes from where he is stationed in Netherland East Indies (Dutch East Indies), to his wife, Denise Beyt Ray in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Ray speaks of their sixteenth anniversary and what she means to him. He goes on to inform her that his leather briefcase was stolen from the boat that shipped their personal items and discusses how he hasn't seen many of the men from back home. He also talks about how his writing is often interrupted by air raids. An envelope postmarked October 14, 1944 with an orange embossed air mail postage stamp is included.
