73-Year-Old Asks Santa for Happy World, Dec. 22, 1924

Salisbury, Dec. 20, 1924

Dear Santa:--I am a little Confederate orphan boy 73 years old. I want you to being me a tiny statue of three brass or bronze monkeys, one with its hands to its mouth that says speak no evil; and one with its hands to its eyes and says see no evil; and one with its hands over its ears, and says hear no evil. If everyone would obey these rules, what a happy world we would have.

Respectfully,

J.T. Wyatt

Salisbury, N.C., Route 3, Box 10.
