Letters to Santa

Dear Santa: I am trying to be a good little boy and I want you to come see me and bring me a pop gun that will shoot alegators and crickets.  I want a rubber ball and a rocky horse too.  If you can't bring these, please bring me a picture card album.  Your little boy, Walter Boles

Dear Old Saint Nick: I am a little girl ten years old.  I have tried to be good this year and would like for you to bring me a set of furs, pair of kid gloves, and all kinds of goodies.  I will put my dollie in my stocking and I would like for you to bring her a new suit.  Your little friend, Daisy Fossett.
