Santa Claus Letters Altoona Mirror, December 10, 1927 Altoona, Pa., Dec. 8, 1927 Dear Santa Claus - As Christmas is drawing near I thought I would write a few lines to let you know what I would like to have for Christmas. I would like to have a train and track and a story book and a horn. And don't forget my other brother Fay he wants a train and track and a ball and horn, and anything else you can bring us. And don't forget my little baby brother and bring him something nice too. I guess that will be all for this time, bring lots of candy and nuts and oranges and a big Christmas tree. >From the little Boslet Boys 2508 Oak Ave., City.
