Santa Letters Dear Santa. How are you? I hope you do not get very cold this year. We will have warm milk and cookies for you. Carots for your raindeer. I would like stockings and bows. I also would like a doll bed that rocks, and a pin. Color paper and chak. Fruit and candy and nuts. I like the fruit very much. My sister would like a baby that has eyes that close. She would like one that has hair. Thank you I We have been very good. Ella and Mary Louise Dear Santa You will be very happy that I have been very good this year. I have helped Papa and obeyed Mama. I helped take care of the garden and put coal on the stove. I have been very neat this year and have been very kind to everyone. I would like buts with fur and a hat with fur and a gun that shoots. A soldier and a nife to use on wood. I would also want a box of fruit and nuts. Thank you very much Your frend Albert Dear Santa Claus, Please bring toys to all the poor children. I hope they all have coal and can stay warm. I am asking for a solder and a hat that has ear covers made of fur. I would like the little cakes and fruit. John DeArmitt Dear Santa, Please do not come early this year. We will be in church and I do not get to bed until very late. I will go sleep soon. I would like a new sley and a new hat. Mama made me new gluves and a new scarf. I have a pair of blue gluvs. The scarf is blue but not the same. Mr. Mintorf gave me a box to put the coal in and I like it very much. Thank you, Robert Dear Santa Could you please bring my family a big tree this year? I would like a big tree to put the lights on the tree. Mama made snow to put on the tree. I am asking for a solder and a sley with a gun. I like the gun that shoots a little pelet. Thank you, Sammy Dear Santa Claus, My dolly needs a new hat and a new pear of shoes. I would like to have a dress for her. A dress that looks like my dress. If it is snowing when you come I will make sure there are ashes on the sidwalk by the door. I would ask for a pin if you have extra and Papa needs a chain for his wasth. Mama asks for a big dish of fruit and she will share. Thank you from Sally Dear Fried, I hope you are not sick and did not get sick from us last year. We are all well and are lucky to have Grandmother live with us now. She is making cookies for you. She will also give you extra ones for sharing. Do your wif like cookies. I would like boots and ribbons and a pin. Fruit and nuts. Thank you very much, I am a good girl. Sarah Elizabeth Santa, Will you give me a ride on your sley? I think I would like that to ride up in the sky. I could see all the stars and the lights from the houses. Is the sky black or blue up there? I have been a very good boy and a very polite boy. I could pick one toy it would be a solder. For extras I like fruit and nuts. Papa says he will save you cookies and wine. Your Altoona frend, Stephen Annie Whiteman PABlair List administrator Annie Whiteman/Steve Patz Blair County Coordinators http://www.rootsweb.com/~pablair
