I generally refrain from simply copying and pasting from other sites but sometimes I find something like this and, well...
This was an actual letter sent to the Indian Railway Department in 1909 by a certain Mr. Okhil Sen:
“I am arrive by passenger train Ahmedpur station and my belly is too much
swelling with jackfruit. I am therefore went to privy. Just I doing the
nuisance that guard making whistle blow for train to go off and I am running
with lotah in one hand and dhoti in the next when I am fall over and
expose all my shocking to man and female women on plateform. I am got leaved
at Ahmedpur station.
This too much bad, if passenger go to make dung that dam guard not wait
train five minutes for him. I am therefore pray your honour to make big fine
on that guard for public sake. Otherwise I am making big report to papers.”
(lotah - a vessel or pot for carrying water; dhoti - a garment wrapped around the lower body)
