John had charge of the orders and

ALETTER TO SANTA
Dear Santa Claus:

Dear Santa Claus:
I am q girl. Last year when you
came I was more than half awake
with the roothache. and I saw and
heard you. You looked TO me like a
kind and noble old man.
I have a brother Ben, and I want
you 20 attend TO the young mans case.
He has been disputing with me for a
week about you. He says there is no
such person as Santa Claus, and the
thing I saw come down the chimney
was an old goat that had been walk
mig on the roof.
This year, because he's so mean
about it, don't bring him a single
thing. Leave all the skates and
things to the boys next door. Mother
agrees with me that brother Ben
should be taught a lesson. When d
hoy Il years old goes staggering
around and saying he don't believe
this or that 1t won't be long before he
becomes a desperado.

You might give brother Ben one more
chance TO believe in you. He is a boy
with lots of good streaks about him,
and maybe he can he reformed.
