1908 Bluffton "love" letter postcard

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 19, 2020 - 9:30am

We feel for Lewis S., who may have lived in Bluffton over a century ago.

In late March of 1908 he penned this postcard note to a Miss Lizzy Poffendick of Columbus.

The note reads:
“Why not answer my letter. Are you angry at me. If you are just let me know. I have been up here since Saturday and will stay two or three more days.
Best regards
Lewis S.”

The postmark reads:
Bluffton, Ohio,
Mar 23 (March)
4 p.m.
1908.

It was received in Columbus the next morning at 8 a.m.
