Wilkes Sisters Write Santa, 1920

My Dear Santa Claus: We have moved from Ellerbe to Jackson Springs and you will find us on Maple street corner, on West End road. We want you to bring us each a baby doll, a little trunk and smoothing iron. I, Louise, want you to bring me a kitty in a basket and a spotted puppy that barks. Bring all of us some fruit, nuts and candies. We still have our doll carriage and piano that you brought us last Christmas. Lots of love, Lottie Pearl, Margaret Elizabeth, and Virginia Louise Wilkes (From the Rockingham Post-Dispatch, Dec. 22, 1920)
