Does anyone have a clue what this message says? Something I've not seen before.

Tillie Kerz was still living at that address in 1916 per the city directory.
https://indianamemory.contentdm.ocl...CD/id/10470/

The Kerz family included seven children, one boy and six girls according to a finding aid for family photographs at the Indiana Historical Society. https://indianahistory.org/wp-conte...ographs.pdf. This notes that one of the daughters, Annie, married and several single daughters resided wih her at another address in 1930 and 1940, including Tillie and Lillie (who were twins).

Makes me wonder if the girls in the family used Tut as a secret language of their own….

The language is interesting, but the message is interesting, too.

"See you tonight."

These days, you'd have to mail that three days in advance in order for Tillie to know you were coming over...progress, I guess.

Interesting facts about the tutnese language. Never too old to learn, and I'm pretty old.
