This postcard was sent by Katharine Hageman to her mother while she was attending Oberlin College asking for a ride home from school.

The postcard is 5 1/2 by 3 1/2 with a photo of Warner Conservatory on the front. There is a 1 cent postage stamp on the back with a time stamp from Oberlin, Oct. 27, 7-PM 1915 Ohio. The 1 is is not visible, however, the context of the message places the postcard in 1915.
