Owing to Extreme Pressure...

The text of this card reads:

Dear Marjore
I received your card a long time ago and have been a going to answer it for a good while
I suppose your are a going to school
from Maud Cleveland
RFD #5

RFD stands for rural free delivery, although it obviously wasn't free. Before rural free delivery, rural residents had to go to the post office in a nearby city to pick up their mail.

This is one of the numerous cards I have to and from the Woodin family. To see photos of the Woodins, see this other post.

  5. Am I the only one that thinks this might be considered a little racy?

    Hmm. Anyways, Happy PFF!

  6. Well, until I read Mary's comment, I thought it was an excellent tie-in. It still is, of course, but I think Mary could be right. :)

  7. I don't think it was meant to be racy. I suspect that our modern view makes us suspicious of anything that appears so innocent.
