Send It to Belgium.
LaGrange, Ga., Dec., 16., 1914.
Dear Old Santa Claus:
I am a little boy nine months old,
and think I have been a very good
little boy to my age, and have caused
mama and papa but a vory little
trouble, they nay, and they have told
mo all about you, what a kind, big-
hearted old fellow you are, and how
you would bring the little people toys
and lots of nice things if they would
bo good. But me being a very little
boy, I am afraid you have failed to
put mo on your list yet, so I thought
I would write to you and tell you how
many good things I want you to bring
me. I want you to bring me a rock
ing horso with a bridle on and linos
and saddle, so I can sit on and hold
him, and bring me a toy dog that will
bark and a pig that will squeel\when
I mash him and a balloon that Won’t
burst, and other nice things that you
think a little.'boy of my age would
want. I can’t eat any candy and ap
ples for my teeth are just coming out
and they are too tender to eat with, so
you can just give my part to some
other little boy or girl, or send It to
the poor little children in Belgium and
bring me all the toys and especially
the rocking horse. You have sent a
lot of things to the little children in
Belgium and If your supplies run
short, I won’t be disappointed if’you
will only bring .me a rocking horse.
Sincerely yours,
BRYANT SPIKES, Jr.
