Santa Claus Letters

7 Clairmont Avenue, Asheville, N.C.

Dear Santa:

Please bring me a big choo choo train that runs on a track and has a head light. I want an aeroplane, a steam shovel and a taxicab. Please remember all the little orphan children.

Lovingly,

J.L. Parks Jr.

Dear Santa:

I am a little boy 9 years old and am sick in the Memorial hospital, been sick three weeks; and I want you to come to see me and bring me a windup train, air rifle, a large rubber ball and fruit. Please don’t forget me.

Your friend,

Billy Cross

Dear Santa Claus:

Please come to my house. I will put the fire out so you won’t get burned. I will tell you what I want for Christmas, a tool set, train, circus, a doll story book, a little car that you can wind up and a car that you pedal. Please don’t forget my papa, mama and sister. I want some apples, nuts, oranges and some English walnuts and a big box of candy. My Sunday school teacher and my music teacher, my school teacher, bring them something nice too. I love you Santa Claus.

Love,

Elizabeth Smith
