Christmas Wish Letters From Many Children
A compilation of handwritten letters from young children in Wellington Texas dated 1936-1937, each requesting Christmas gifts such as dolls, dollhouses, sets, toy trains, trucks, cooking sets, rifles, and candy. Children ask Santa to remember families, mothers, fathers, and siblings, with many first and second graders describing good behavior and hoped-for items.
