Dear Santa PLEASE send me
another bank to run. won't be
greedy so do not send but one more.
Then l want some of the wise looks
of DIR. Harrison, some of John D.
Vanderfellow's money and some of
Mr.. Allen Smiths enticing ways.
Please send my little friend Bob Hill
some monkey candy and bottle of
Sloan's liniment to loosen up his bids
on cotton.
Your little friend,
Jimmie Stark.
