A collection of handwritten Christmas requests from dozens of local children. Each letter asks for toys such as dolls, a drum, bicycle, train sets, and candy, while stressing care for siblings and parents. The notes reveal age ranges from two to twelve and mention Santa Claus delivering gifts to "poor children" as well.
A fifth grade girl Mary Fouls at 139 W. Vincennes St writes to Santa Claus listing desired gifts for Christmas. She asks for a doll, doll carriage, a Salvation Army bonnet, a writing desk, a dresser, plus candy, nuts and oranges, signing with love as a devoted friend.
