Dear Santa Wish List From Alabama Children
A pair of letters from Decatur and Danville children's pages request gifts for Christmas. One child asks for a show projector Betsy McCall clothes a squeaky bear a sailboat a Santa puppet and a green car plus candy fruits and nuts and mentions sisters Anne and Peg. The other child age three lists a platform rocker a cowboy suit a machine gun and a tractor and plans to leave coffee and cake.
