you will read my letter as I am just
j a little English girl, my dada says
l was born in London all among the
smoue, but as I have lived longest
out here r perhaps you will forget I
was born over the sea. I saw such
a sweet little donkey outside Dick's
Laundry with a pretty red cover on
it and a real. live Santa Claus lead
ing him, and a horse saw him and
was so afraid that he "kicked and
wouldn't go at all, but the little don
key wasn't a- bit afraid of (the horse:
Mama: says you are to .give : him to
some little girl or boy, I would like
him to ride to London ., to get my
dear old granny and bring her back
on the ' donkey cause she is afraid
of the sea. I want her to see my
baby brother. He's a little "Mexi
can man." - God sent him to mama,
but He : forgot baby's toothiesy and
so he can't eat or walk; I would call
the donkey Neddy Meyers, cause
mama says he stays there. I was bad
last week. - I got under mama's bed hf!inwi,i ...;n
and cut my hair all on one side. -lJPlace Where Ut Will bnng
hasn't got any ; dada fixed it on ; the
wall, and said Santa would see it and
not give me anything, but mama
said if: I was good and played with
baby she would take it down. I did
try to be good, so mama . took It down,!
Dear Santa, I would.; like a nice book
and a doll too, and please put some
thing in all the poor little girls and
boys' stockings, cause .their mamas
and dady's have no money, and give
baby brother a drum ; he don't like
dolls, arid some toothies as well, and
mama says I must not write too
much or you won't have time to read
all the little boys aiid girls letters. If
I get Neddy Meyers I will put him in
the stable and give him some corn
and sing "Gee-up Neddy, gee-up Ned
dy," the best little donkey that ever
was born. Now good-bye dear old
Santa, don't forget I'm Doris Goiter.
Goodbye. P. S. I forgot to say
there was a mean old brick in our
chimney, but mama had it taken out,
so you won't get hurt when you come
down. - "DORIS GOLTER."
