“Dear Santa” How are you? I am fine. Jack wants a
football even though he can’t play with it. And father would
like a new necktie and mother would like a scarf. And I would
like a patsie doll and Kimona. And please don’t
forget the poor children. I hope your can get here and bring your
reindeer.
Your little friend, Jean Kelly.
