Dear Santa Claus:
..It is getting near Christmas times, and I want you to remember where I live. I will tell you some of the things I would like to have. In the first place I want some nice books, and if you have nay you might bring me some of Miss Louisa M. Alcott's books. You needn't mind about bring me a doll because I have one that is not very old and it will do for a while. I have been looking around a great deal for presents, and have found that they have a great display of them. Yours truly.

Dear Sant Claus please don't forget us we will go to bed as soon as we get back from the Christmas tree, and shut our eyes as tight as tight can be. Oh Santa Claus bring me a sack of candy. I will close my letter now I have nothing else to write.
