Description
In this handwritten letter, Robert B. Ray writes from where he is stationed near New Guinea, to his parents in Kosciusko, Mississippi. He tells his mother he is glad she has decided to have her operation and reassures her that she will have good results. He gives his dad instructions to tell the Kosciusko Fishing and Hunting Club about transferring his stock to his dad. He goes on to describe the island to them and what it's like being there. He concludes by asking after his aunts and telling his parents he loves them.
