College and Campus, Findlay, O.


dear Friend Katie I will send you an Postal of the City as I am in Findlay today and if ma Could only see me now I am Fat Ragged and Saucy. There is no signature here, and it is not stamped or postmarked, so I'm not sure how it came to Katie. I looked up this term, and it means "In good health and spirits". While googling this phrase, I came across a fascinating resource: The 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue.
