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 complains that they still have not received any mail since their arrival and explains that he doesn't know what to write to her without her letters to guide him. He goes on to tell her that "Waldron" asked Col. Patterson for bamboo but was denied based on Ray's advice due to Waldron's selfishness. He concludes by asking her to send walnuts, cigars, and cigarettes. An envelope postmarked October 12, 1944 with an orange embossed air mail postage stamp is included.
