My dearest Grace,
I am at this time answering your lettter dated July 17. I hope you do't mind my writing you two letters in one day.
On July 17th you still mention that you have had only one letter from me. I figure that by the 20th you should start getting some pretty regular. The day I got off the ship I started to write pretty regular and so I figure the 2oth would be ample time for you to start receiving my mail.
You also mention that I really must be seeing the country. so far I've been in Bombay, Agra and New Delhi. New Delhi seems to be the most modernistic city and very clean. Bombay is not such a bad
city either. Agra has a lot of wonderful scenery like Taj Mahal for instance.
I also visited a city in Australia when I was there. It is just like any small town in the states only that they drive to the left instead to the right. Very confusing at first.
Darling don't you worry your pretty little head, I am not going through as much as your pretty little head conceives. Sometimes it seems pretty tought but there are more times when it is all right. The hardest thing I have to contend with is that I am not near enough to you. I sure to pray and hope that it will not be long before I am able to see you again.
I sure do like to swim but I can't seem to stay up on top. I am like a submarine, always submerging.
I sure do like to skate, and bowl. I am not as good a skater as you think, although I can stand on the skates and move around without falling. I don't care whether you know how or didn't know how to skate, I'd love skating with you. I would like to teach you cause while teaching you I would have to hold you tight and so that way I would kill two birds with one stone. I could hold you tight and still teach you how to skate. (Aren't I a case?)
I'll also show you how to bowl although that does not have any advantage like skating.
Honey, the letter I mailed to you at Matador, were they forwarded to you in Ft. Worth?
I think I'll close now honey so until I hear from you or I should say until I can write again I'll write.
"Na mas tay"
Ray
yours and always
