This letter was found in a hope chest in someone’s garage, an heirloom of sorts. The author, and the veracity of the events recounted therein, are unknown. It’s may be 80 or 90 years old, but beyond that it’s a mystery. It was discovered about ten years ago, and was my first experience at seeing this kind of language in the context of the early twentieth century, a time I always envisioned as possessing a certain gentility and delicacy of speech. Silly me.
This is completely out of line with my usual material. Why post it? Because it’s an artifact of history, and however bizarre it does give a view of a different way of life. And also, when it was found everyone who read it laughed until they cried. Maybe you will, maybe you won’t, but some things just have to be shared.
Grossly offensive, inappropriate, shocking, and at times coffee-spewingly hilarious, click to read more. The content is not for children or anyone with delicate sensibilities or a clean mind. You will be appalled. All views expressed therein are those of the original writer, and not shared by me in any way, shape or form. And of course, NSFW.
